This chapter presents a case analysis of climate change event risks maps based on big data series for temperature and precipitation within a geographical distribution for Romania. The risk maps are presented, and an application is run for the impact on the Romanian gas network. Also presented is an application for the risk map of the Italian gas network subject to earthquakes and landslides. A possible insurance policy against climate change risks is also presented and determined based on the risk maps, and a better allocation of investments to mitigate or adapt to those risks is also discussed.
