Engineers without Borders: Development, CC, and infrastructure report
Climate Compatible Development in the Infrastructure Sector
Climate change is recognised as one of the most significant threats to development during the 21st Century and beyond. Infrastructure policymakers and practitioners have a crucial role to play in meeting the challenge of climate change in the developing word. This applies both to mitigation, i.e. reducing greenhouse gas emissions in ways that facilitate continued growth and sustained poverty reduction; and to adaptation, i.e. protecting vulnerable populations from the impacts of climate change. This report provides an overview of the challenges and opportunities at the nexus of climate change, infrastructure and development. Read More...
