Part of a new industry series Moving the Future™: Climate Business Intelligence™ for Transportation Infrastructure
Transportation infrastructure is the backbone of global commerce, connecting cities, industries, and communities through networks of roads, rails, ports, and air corridors. Yet these same systems face mounting stress from climate change. Extreme weather events, sea-level rise, and temperature volatility pose a significant threat to more than $15 trillion in transport assets worldwide, resulting in economic losses that already exceed $120 billion annually (World Bank, 2023; NOAA, 2024).
This series introduces Climate Business Intelligence™ (CBI) as a data-driven framework that quantifies and monetizes the physical and financial impacts of climate risk across all modes of transportation. CBI fuses geospatial climate modeling, artificial intelligence, and financial analytics to support adaptation, disclosure, and investment decisions. Drawing on global case studies and metrics from leading agencies and institutions, this report outlines how applying CBI to airports, ports, highways, bridges, rail, and transit networks can transform climate uncertainty into measurable business intelligence—securing mobility, supply chains, and long-term economic resilience.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- What is Climate Business Intelligence™? Climate Business Intelligence™ is an AI-driven framework that combines climate modeling, geospatial data, and financial analytics to quantify and monetize climate risk. It helps organizations turn complex climate data into actionable insights for decision-making and resilience planning.
- How does Climate Business Intelligence™ apply to transportation infrastructure? It assesses the exposure and vulnerability of transport systems, roads, ports, railways, bridges, and airports, to future weather and climate extremes, helping operators prioritize adaptation and protect long-term asset value.
- Why is climate risk critical for the transportation sector? Transportation infrastructure underpins $15 trillion in global assets but faces growing threats from sea-level rise, floods, and extreme heat. Annual climate-related losses now exceed $120 billion, underscoring the need for proactive risk intelligence and adaptation planning.
- How does Climate Business Intelligence™ support disclosure and compliance? Climate Business Intelligence™ aligns with major global standards, ISSB, TCFD, CSRD, and California’s SB-261, to provide transparent, audit-ready climate risk data and financial reporting for regulatory and investor requirements.
- What are the benefits of using Climate Business Intelligence™? It helps organizations identify high-risk assets, quantify potential financial losses, and optimize resilience investments, enhancing performance, compliance, and long-term economic stability across global transport networks.
