EDHEC Climate Institute unveils ClimaTech: The science behind the hype in climate-alignment infrastructure technologies

Infrastructure investors and operators are under increasing pressure to identify credible, science-based pathways to decarbonisation and climate resilience. Yet most available information remains fragmented across technical reports, academic literature, and regulatory documents, leaving decision-makers without a single, comparable framework for action.
The ClimaTech project bridges this gap. Backed by two years of research and eight peer-reviewed papers, ClimaTech provides the first and world’s largest systematic, evidence-based repository of strategies to reduce both transition and physical climate risks to infrastructure assets. It consolidates complex, cross-disciplinary research into a single, accessible platform combining engineering, financial, and regulatory perspectives.

What works – and what doesn’t?
Drawing on over 100+ mitigation and adaptation strategies across eight infrastructure sectors, ClimaTech quantifies the relative effectiveness of alignment technologies. Our research identifies the most impactful, effective and popular measures within this infrastructure asset class.
