Adapting infrastructure to climate change: advancing decision-making under conditions of uncertainty (1st edition.)

Many of the challenges that decision-makers grapple with in relation to climate change are governance related.

Planning and decision-making is evolving in ambiguous institutional environments, in which many key issues remain unresolved, including relationships between different actors; funding arrangements; and the sources and procedures for vetting data.

These issues are particularly acute at this juncture, as climate adaptation moves from broad planning processes to the management of infrastructure systems.

Concrete decisions must be made. This title draws on case studies of three coastal cities situated within very different governance regimes: neo-corporatist Rotterdam, neo-pluralist Boston and semi-authoritarian Singapore.
