This report provides a consolidated life-extension (life-ex) assessment of the Hendrina Power Station, detailing the technical condition and remnant life of its energy services, electrical plant, and common infrastructure. The study, conducted by Siemens and other specialists, evaluates whether the plant can operate until 2025, identifying critical failures in MV motors, generator age, and environmental compliance issues regarding water and waste management.

This case study by GreenCape details the lessons learned from the first resilience analysis of the City of Cape Town's capital infrastructure portfolio. Supported by UK Pact in early 2022, the project aimed to understand how capital investments impact climate resilience by implementing a tagging mechanism in the City's SAP Project Portfolio Management system. The report identifies gaps in project tagging, the importance of a consolidated project database, and the need for increased awareness among project managers regarding how basic service delivery contributes to climate resilience.

This case study describes the application of the Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) methodology to the Rabat bypass road project in Morocco. The analysis, conducted by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) for Autoroutes du Maroc (ADM), evaluates the financial impact of operational risks and external factors—such as CO2 emissions and accident costs—that are typically omitted from conventional financial analyses.

This case study examines the socioeconomic importance of Manitoba's winter road network and the provincial government's efforts to enhance its resilience in response to climate change. It details how warming winters have shortened the operational window of these roads, leading to increased costs and safety risks, and describes the subsequent policy and funding interventions used to adapt the system.

The 'Kliimamuutustega kohanemise arengukava aastani 2030' is a national strategic framework designed to reduce Estonia's vulnerability to climate change. It identifies key risks—including rising temperatures, increased winter precipitation, and sea-level rise—and establishes eight priority areas for adaptation: health and rescue capacity, land use and planning, the natural environment, bioeconomy, economy, society/awareness, infrastructure, and energy security. The plan outlines specific goals, metrics, and a budget of 43.745 million euros for the period 2017–2030 to increase the resilience of the state, regional, and local levels.
