Adapting to Climate Change

A good report prepared by the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers - - Canada's First National Engineering Vulnerability Assessment of Public Infrastructure - April 2008.  The key themes of the report:
  • Some infrastructure components share high engineering vulnerability to climate change.
  • Improved tools are required to guide professional judgment.
  • Infrastructure data gaps are an engineering vulnerability.
  • Improvements are needed in design approaches.
  • Climate change is a factor that diminishes resiliency.
  • Engineering vulnerability assessment requires multi-disciplinary teams.
