Much infrastructure, built to design codes based on historic climate data, will require decisions in coming years regarding rehabilitation, upgrade or replacement. This poses both a challenge and an opportunity for adaptation. This review is one of a series of sector-based papers commissioned as background to the report -managing uncertainty: adapting to climate change in ECA countries' targeted at internal World Bank audiences as well as counterparts in client countriesPPN: PPN: 1724890948Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-1-WBADieser Titel hat keine Exemplare
