Infrastructure and adaptation

The Engineering the Future group, led by The Royal Academy of Engineering, the IET, ICE, IMechE and IChemE, has been commissioned to carry out a study on the changes needed to make critical infrastructure robust against threats posed by climate change. This study will look at vulnerabilities in the transport, energy, water and communications infrastructure, it will identify interdependencies between these elements of the UK's infrastructure, and will identify strategies to increase the resilience of the entire infrastructure system. The report is based on the outcomes of five expert workshops. Reports of these workshops will be on this page soon. Comments on them and further input is welcomed, and will feed in to the final report.

Please send all comments to infrastructure consultation
