This report introduces the Costing Climate Change Impacts on Public Infrastructure project, which provides projections of the long-term costs that certain climate change hazards will impose on Ontario’s provincial and municipal infrastructure budgets. 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.
