The report outlines the context and methodology, describes the climate hazards included in the project, and discusses the projections of these hazards to public infrastructure. Results will be published in three sector reports for buildings, transportation, and water infrastructure.
- December 7, 2021This report estimates the impacts of changes in extreme rainfall, extreme heat and freeze-thaw cycles on the long-term costs of maintaining public buildings in a state of good repair.
