The Climate Change Adaptation for Critical Civil Infrastructure Summit will help businesses understand the scale of climate change in order to better predict risk, develop resilience and make viable business plans around different climate scenarios. While the technical solutions for this may be easily obtainable, it is important that organizations first define what it is exactly that they need to address in order to apply the right solutions. After all, no organisation can afford to invest in assets and put preemptive measures in the ground until they have a better and clearer understanding of the real scale of climate change.
National co-ordination of effort will be a highly important issue to ensure climate change adaptation strategies are really going to be effective. How exactly will everyone’s actions fit together and be co-ordinated? This Summit will provide a timely and expeditious role by bringing together all the key organisations in the nations critical infrastructures to discuss HOW they can join forces and communicate, and make not just one area resilient, but the whole framework resilient. |
