hy is infrastructure resilience key to adapting to climate change? Sixty percent of the infrastructure needed by 2050 is yet to be built, meaning trillions of dollars of investment in infrastructure will be required over the coming decades.
If done right, we can build climate resilience through these investments and:
- Avoid the loss of critical assets
- Reduce disruption of vital services
- Improve the quality and reliability of public services
- Accelerate economic growth and social development
