Traditionally, financiers and developers have focused on risks to infrastructure such as transport, water and energy systems when considering climate resilience (being able to cope with threats such as extreme heat and storms). However, this new report, launched at COP28 says investments in Africa’s infrastructure can make people and communities far more resilient to the threats posed by climate change. Produced by the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG) and the University of Exeter, the report calls for an expanded focus. Specifically, it says financiers and developers should consider how infrastructure can most effectively contribute to the resilience of the communities and economies it serves - especially those most vulnerable to climate extremes.
