Adapting Infrastructure and Civil Engineering Practice to a Changing Climate: Civil Engineering Sectors

摘要

The American Society of Civil Engineers formed the Committee on Adaptation to a Changing Climate (CACC) in 2011, to identify and communicate the technical requirements and civil engineering challenges for adapting to climate change. The CACC producedthe report "Adapting Infrastructure and Civil Engineering Practice to a Changing Climate." An excerpt from that report is featured here. This report provides valuable perspective for viewing the impacts ofclimate change through the eyes ofcivil engineers.
