This
report calls for the development of a comprehensive
research agenda to improve knowledge about the
impacts of climate change on the built environment.
It outlines
climate scenarios and potential impacts on energy,
transport, telecommunications and buildings infrastructure.
It demonstrates areas where urban planners, managers
and others involved with infrastructure need precipitation
and sea level data to protect infrastructure from
flooding and other impacts. |

This purpose of this background paper prepared
for the 2003 World Development Report was to
raise the
awareness of climate change issues among the World
Bank's urban staff. The paper is a good overview
of climate change impacts on urban area. It provides
general estimates related to the costs of the
impacts,
in terms of loses to property, and costs associated
with mitigation and adaptation measures. [PDF] |

This
report examines the likely implications of climate
change on cities, in terms of increased natural
hazards and identifies adaptation strategies and
policy responses to make Canadian cities less vulnerable.

| The
Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Transportation:
Workshop Summary and Proceedings |
| |
U.S.
Dept. of Transportation, Workshop, October 1-2,
2002 |
| |
http://climate.volpe.dot.gov/workshop1002/ |
|
DOT's
Center for Climate Change and Environmental Forecasting,
the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department
of Energy, and the US Global Change Research Program
co-sponsored a workshop on October 1-2, 2002 to
discuss the potential impacts of climate change
on transportation systems and services. The DOT
Center is undertaking a multi-year research program
to study how short and long-term changes in climate
could affect transportation, and how transportation
decision-makers could address possible impacts.
The workshop brought together 64 transportation
and planning professionals and experts in climate
change and assessment to explore these issues
and
provide input on the research questions that should
be given top priority for investigation by the
Center.
