Description

This report summarizes the (Climate Safe Infrastructure Working Group's (CSIWG) deliberations in response to the mandate of AB 2800 and offers recommendations to the California State Legislature and the Strategic Growth Council. AB 2800 mandated that a panel of scientists, registered engineers and architects be convened to help the State of California understand how it can best incorporate forward-looking climate information into the state’s infrastructure design, planning and implementation.Together, these recommendations chart a path toward helping California invest in climate-safe infrastructure. The report addresses the infrastructure that was built decades, even a century, ago – from historical bridges, to major dams, highways and buildings – and the infrastructure that will be built in the coming years and is meant to last for many decades to come.
