Services for a Climate Resilient Infrastructure
Enhancing Climate Services for Infrastructure Investment (CSI)
Every year, emerging economies and developing countries invest billions in long-term infrastructure projects. However, their plans often fail to take account of future climate change. This leads to high risks of damage and misguided investments that harbour potentially serious consequences for the economy and society. Many countries – amongst them Brazil, Costa Rica and Viet Nam – have now launched efforts to raise the resilience of their infrastructure, prioritising this as a target in their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC).
