International Training on Climate-Resilient Infrastructure
Background
Climate change is widely recognized as one of humanity’s greatest threats. Global frameworks such as the
UNFCCC, Kyoto Protocol, and the Paris Agreement have driven national and sub-national ambition,
particularly on mitigation, adaptation, and climate finance.
The IPCC AR6 Synthesis Report confirms that continued greenhouse gas emissions will intensify global
warming, with increasing risks to infrastructure systems worldwide. Africa’s infrastructure is already
experiencing climate-related damage, with projected repair and maintenance costs exceeding
USD 150 billion.
Climate hazards such as flooding, droughts, bushfires, temperature extremes, and changing precipitation
patterns are accelerating the deterioration of roads, bridges, water systems, and buildings—disrupting
economic productivity and community livelihoods.
In response, the Environmental Capacities and Sustainability Institute (ECAS Institute) has designed
this intensive ten-day training to strengthen professional capacity for planning, designing, financing,
and managing climate-resilient infrastructure systems.
