Fig. 2: Assets’ distribution and direct impact of tropical cyclones on assets.

All panels: assets are represented as dots. The position of the dots is determined by the latitude and longitude coordinates of the asset. The size of the dots is proportional to the standardized capacity of the asset (i.e., assets with larger capacity will have larger dots). a Assets' distribution. The colour of the dot describes the type of asset (e.g., mine, power plant, see legend in the bottom left of the panel). b Percentage of direct damages from tropical cyclones on assets under Expected Annual Impacts (EAI), Representative Concentration Pathway 2.6 (RCP2.6), year 2050. As expected, all assets have a nearly zero direct impact under EAI (i.e., grey colour). The red rectangle delimits the area which is zoomed in (c, d). c Percentage of direct damages from tropical cyclones under a Return Period of 100 years (RP100), RCP2.6, year 2050. d Percentage of direct damages from tropical cyclones under a Return Period of 250 years (RP250), RCP4.5, year 2050. The colour bar to the right of the chart is common to (b–d) and relates the colour of the dot to the percentage of direct damages from tropical cyclones.
