We expect the services delivering energy, water, waste, transport and ICT to be available whenever we need them. But pressure from population growth, land-use change, increased demand, climate change and other factors means that significant changes may be required in the future to deliver sustainable and resilient systems capable of supporting national growth.<\/p>\n
Extreme events can disrupt or cause the complete loss of essential infrastructure services such as water and energy supplies, transportation and communication networks \u2013 even the current variability in UK weather has an impact on infrastructure performance.<\/p>\n
The UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) 2017<\/a> identified the main climate risks to infrastructure as:<\/p>\n A number of projects work on the interdependent nature of infrastructure, while others are looking at possible transformational changes. All are providing fresh insights on the challenges of supplying reliable infrastructure services.<\/p>\n Many aspects of infrastructure are interconnected and dependent on each other; failure in one sector can quickly lead to a cascade of failures affecting other sectors. Such interdependencies are likely to increase in future, adding complexity to risk analysis and the decision-making process.<\/p>\n We expect the services delivering energy, water, waste, transport and ICT to be available whenever we need them.
