New Guideline: Principles of Climate Adaptation and Mitigation for Practitioners
The climate is changing. Historical climatic design data is becoming less representative of the future climate. Many future climate risks may be significantly under-estimated. Engineers and geoscientists cannot assume that the future will be like the past. Historical climate trends cannot be simply projected into the future for engineering and geoscience planning, design, operations and maintenance of infrastructure. This guideline is intended to set out general concepts and principles to inform practitioners on why adaptation to and mitigation of climate change is relevant in professional practice. For more information, please see the new Principles of Climate Adaptation and Mitigation for Practitioners guideline.
