Climate adaptation
DOSSIER
Increased flood risks and longer dry periods require
changes in infrastructure. But which changes are
needed? Should we stop building in some places, or
should we actually be building dikes? Or is it better to
set aside flood-prone areas for agriculture and fishing?
We do know that the climate is changing but we don’t
know exactly how, or how quickly. Even so, action is
needed. The solution? Climate adaptation pathways
that take a range of scenarios into account and result in
the right investment at the right time.
