Abstract
The unique Higgs physics opportunities accessible at the CERN Future Circular Collider (FCC) in electron-positron ($\sqrt{s}$ = 125, 240, 350 GeV) and proton-proton ($\sqrt{s}$ = 100 TeV) collisions, are succinctly summarized. Thanks to the large c.m. energies and enormous luminosities (plus clean experimental conditions in the $e^+e^-$ case), many open fundamental aspects of the Higgs sector of the Standard Model (SM) can be experimentally studied:
Measurement of the Higgs Yukawa couplings to the lightest fermions: u,d,s quarks (via rare exclusive $H\to(\rho,\omega,\phi)+\gamma$ decays); and e$^\pm$ (via resonant s-channel $e^+e^-\to H$ production); as well as neutrinos (within low-scale seesaw mass generation scenarios).
Measurement of the Higgs potential (triple $\lambda_3$, and quartic $\lambda_4$ self-couplings), via double and triple Higgs boson production in pp collisions at 100 TeV.
Searches for new physics coupled to the scalar SM sector at scales $\Lambda>$ 6 TeV, thanks to measurements of the Higgs boson couplings with subpercent uncertainties in $e^+e^-\to H\,Z$.
Searches for dark matter in Higgs-portal interactions, via high-precision measurements of on-shell and off-shell Higgs boson invisible decays.
All these measurements are beyond the reach of pp collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. New higher-energy $e^+e^-$ and pp colliders such as FCC are thus required to complete our understanding of the full set of SM Higgs parameters, as well as to search for new scalar-coupled physics in the multi-TeV regime.

Metadata are provided both in "article" format (very similar to INSPIRE) as this helps creating very compact bibliographies which can be beneficial to authors and readers, and in "proceeding" format which is more detailed and complete.
