## English

* **Climate threat scale**: A new Zurich Insurance report reveals that 75% of Southeast Asia's future renewable energy generation capacity is projected to face severe climate risk (Categories 4 and 5) by 2030
* **Financial exposure**: Approximately US$165 billion in renewable energy assets across ASEAN are at risk from climate hazards including wind, flooding, hail, and tornadoes
* **Investment solution**: An upfront resilience investment of approximately US$13 billion could reduce financial exposure by 40-50%, yielding an estimated 6.5x return on investment
* **Solar most exposed**: Solar energy is the most vulnerable technology, with 731 sites (117,884 MW) in the dataset. By 2030, 80% of solar sites are projected to be in the top two risk categories
* **ASEAN target**: The regional bloc aims for renewables to constitute 45% of installed power capacity by 2030, up from 33% today
* **Investment gap**: Achieving the 2030 target requires clean energy investment to reach approximately US$190 billion by 2035, roughly five times current levels
* **Critical hazards**: Four hazards — wind, flooding, hail, and tornadoes — pose very high risks to civil works, substations, solar modules, and turbines
* **Five recommendations**: The report calls for mandatory climate risk screening, stress-testing high-risk assets, embedding resilience in procurement, planning for system-wide resilience, and quantifying resilience to unlock capital
* **Regional scope**: The analysis covers 1,380 renewable energy sites across ASEAN (excluding Timor Leste)
