Infrastructure and climate change: impacts and adaptations for the Zambezi River Valley
Summary
The study estimates that Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia face a potential US$596 million cost to maintain and repair road infrastructure due to climate-driven temperature and precipitation changes by 2050.
Key insights
- Using a stressor-response approach and 425 climate scenarios per road type and policy option, the study estimates that Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia face a potential cost of US$596 million based on median scenarios to repair and maintain roads damaged by climate-related temperature and precipitation changes between 2010 and 2050.
