This report identifies significant opportunities for contractors in retrofitting old infrastructure, as well as developing technologies for use on the projects of the future. The cross-government report outlines the challenges to the transport, energy, water and ICT sectors. The report also sets out what action needs to be taken by infrastructure owners and operators, regulators, insurers and Government. Actions identified in the report to prepare infrastructure for a changing climate include:

  • Owners and operators of infrastructure should include measures to improve climate resilience in the maintenance schedules for their assets, and ensure climate impacts are considered in the design of new infrastructure;
  • Potential infrastructure investors should demand more information from companies on the climate risks to their assets and measures taken to reduce them as part of their ‘due diligence’ processes;
  • Professional bodies should consider if their members have the right skills to help prepare infrastructure for climate change; and
  • Engineers should look to develop new materials, techniques and designs to improve the resilience of infrastructure projects to severe weather.

A synthesis of the independent studies that the project commissioned has also been published.
