New research by First Street reveals that over half of global data center capacity is located in areas vulnerable to chronic climate risks like extreme heat and drought, while nearly 80% face acute hazards such as flooding and wildfires. These risks are increasingly impacting operating costs, infrastructure reliability, and investment returns in the rapidly growing data center market. Major hubs like Northern Virginia and Johor are among the most exposed, highlighting the need for investors to factor climate risk into valuation and underwriting to avoid mispriced assets and ensure long-term resilience.
