'Our findings serve as a stark warning for governments, preservationists, and the global community to prioritise the safeguarding of our planet - to preserve our ancient monuments and our current assets and infrastructure- and to protect life today and into the future,' said Lukky Ahmed, CEO and co-founder of Climate X.
Researchers from Climate X set out to understand which of these sites could perish because of climate change. The analysis revealed 50 key sites at risk if global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise at the current rate.
The analysis highlights 50 sites at risk - including four in the UK. Topping the list is Indonesia's Subak System, which is vulnerable to surface flooding, extreme heat days, and drought risk.
The team used Climate X's Spectra platform, which models how climate change will affect properties, assets and infrastructure under various scenarios. Algorithms within the platform quantify the risk from extreme weather.
