Infrastructure for a Climate-Resilient Future

The OECD’s 2024 report Infrastructure for a Climate-Resilient Future warns that rising global temperatures and increasingly severe climate impacts are placing critical infrastructure systems at growing risk. It emphasises that governments must embed climate resilience across the entire infrastructure lifecycle to avoid locking in vulnerability and to safeguard economic and social well-being for decades to come. The report also highlights that investing in resilient infrastructure delivers strong economic returns and co-benefits, calling for whole-of-government action, stronger financing mechanisms and greater use of Nature-based Solutions.
