CLIMATE RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE
Climate change is impacting infrastructure worldwide, affecting energy, transport, water, waste, and telecommunications systems. Climate-resilient infrastructure is essential to withstand and recover quickly from natural hazards exacerbated by climate change. Traditional infrastructure often lacks resilience, leading to costly damage and safety threats from more frequent and intense natural disasters. Innovative solutions like flood management, drought preparedness, urban heat reduction, efficient water management, coastal protection, earthquake resilience, temperature resistance, and wind resistance are crucial.
Investing in climate-resilient construction can pay for itself in hazard-prone areas, saving up to $11 in repair costs for every dollar invested. As climate change continues to reshape our world, prioritizing climate-resilient infrastructure and supporting companies and policies that champion resilience is essential to protect communities and economies.
