Climate Compatible Growth #CCG
🛎 🛎 NEW RESEARCH PAPER: Quantifying climate risks to infrastructure systems: A comparative review of developments across infrastructure sectors Infrastructure systems are particularly vulnerable to climate hazards, such as 🌊 flooding, 🔥 wildfires, 🌌 cyclones and temperature fluctuations. Responding to these threats in a proportionate and targeted way requires quantitative analysis of climate risks, which underpins infrastructure resilience and adaptation strategies. The aim of this paper is to review the recent developments in quantitative climate risk analysis for key infrastructure sectors, including water and wastewater, telecommunications, health and education, transport ( ⛴ seaports, ✈ airports, 🛵 road, 🚉 rail and inland waterways), and energy (generation, transmission and distribution). The team identify several overarching research gaps..... Read the paper here to find out what they are: https://lnkd.in/eE7Uy88r The author team includes Jasper Verschuur Evelyn Mühlhofer Sadhana Nirandjan, Edoardo Borgomeo Asimina V. Edward Oughton, Andrej Stankovski, and our colleaguesRaghav Pant, and Jim Hall.

All India Disaster Mitigation Institute
Lessons from NRDC Partners: Top Three Lessons What strategies are crucial for building heat resilience? Dr. Vijay Limaye from NRDC shares three key lessons on heat interventions and planning. Key Takeaways: Data-Driven Strategies: Effective heat interventions start with accurate data. Reliable climate data helps in designing targeted interventions to protect vulnerable communities. Governance and Planning: Strong governance mechanisms, including heat action plans, are vital to prepare for and mitigate the impacts of extreme heat. Innovative Interventions: Developing cooling centers and expanding green spaces are examples of innovative measures that can help communities adapt to rising temperatures. For a more detailed exploration, check out the full article linked in the comments. #HeatResilience #ClimateAdaptation #NRDC #ExtremeHeat #HeatActionPlans
