Developing a Framework for Integrating Climate Change Impacts on Infrastructure LCA
This study looks into the impact of climate change on the operational and structural performance of infrastructures such as roads, bridges, and buildings.
Impacts of Anthropogenic Climate Change to the Electric Sector of Europe
Leonie Wenz, et al, examine the north to south polarization of European countries electricity consumption under future climate-induced warming.
Enhancing Urban Flood Resilience Study – A Climate Adaptation Approach
A study on urban flood resilience applies an interdisciplinary and catchment-based approach using Elwood, a suburb in Melbourne Australia as a case study.
A Study on the Technical Dimension of the Water Supply’s Resilience to Disaster
The study by Dr. Behrooz Balaei and colleagues have investigated the technical characteristics of water supply that affect its resilience against disasters.
How Flooding in a Changing Climate and Urbanisation Presents Opportunities
Traditional approach to water and flood management treats water as a "problem" and so, engineer-led. A new approach sees water as a potential opportunity.
A Study on Surface Water Flooding Shows Climate Adaptation Option
The paper applies an adaptation pathways approach to compare alternative options in dealing with current and future flood risks due to climate change.
Water Resource Planning Study Factors Climate and Socio-Economic Uncertainty
Climatic and socio-economic factors strongly influence water resource performance. The researchers found that the iterative approach to DMUU is valuable.
Using Sea-Level Science to Manage Climate Change Risks
The paper provides an overview of the sea-level science relevant to decision-makers and communities to develop their future coastal adaptation strategies.
Trade-offs Between Climate Change Adaptation and Urban Planning
To address the challenges of climate change and urbanisation, climate adaptation and mitigation need to be prioritised and included in land use planning.
