This report sets out the case for adapting infrastructure in the energy, transport and water sectors so that new and existing infrastructure is able to operate effectively in a long-term changing climate. The report focuses on the long-term impacts of climate change (2030s to 2100) to the infrastructure in the three sectors, setting out: The long-term risks from climate to the infrastructure, both technically and operationally: The need to consider the interdependency risks of the infrastructure system and how this can be exacerbated by long-term climate change; The need for all infrastructure to consider the long-term impacts of climate change in its design, build and operation; The adaptation options available, as well as barriers possibly preventing action; and Suggested recommendations to the Infrastructure and Adaptation project as part of its two year
programme of work.
