Weathering the Storm: Adapting Victoria’s Infrastructure to Climate Change - PIARC Prize - Adaptation to Climate Change

Between 2007-2016 recovering from extreme weather events cost Victoria, Australia an average of $2.7 billion a year [1]. Victoria will continue to be impacted by frequent and intense weather, putting infrastructure at risk. Without early action to better protect infrastructure, it will fail more often, harming and costing people and businesses. Infrastructure Victoria has completed a project to assess the benefits of adapting government-owned or -managed infrastructure to the changing climate. The project, Weathering the Storm: Adapting Victoria’s infrastructure to climate change helps governments decide how and where to invest in adapting infrastructure.
