Description

Abstract:

Some socio-economic consequences of climate change are likely to have damaging effects on infrastructure in more indirect ways. Economic disruption resulting from the effects of climate change could lead to a reduction in the budgets dedicated to the maintenance of both public and private infrastructure. The migrations potentially generated by the loss of livelihoods, deteriorating living conditions and a surge in conflicts may cause some infrastructure to be damaged, abandoned or used over capacity.
