The recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report has once again emphasized on the risks we face by unmitigated climate change. Global instances of extreme climatic events show that long lasting, economic impact takes the form of damage to infrastructure, and suspension of fundamental infrastructural services.

Fossil-fuel based energy infrastructure, therefore, is vulnerable, with or without climate action.
