But infrastructure owners and operators can play a key role in bridging the adaptation data gap, writes David Smith, fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers<\/h2>\n<p>The latest progress report from the Climate Change Committee (CCC) didn\u2019t pull any punches.<\/p>\n<p>Announcing its publication on 29 March, the committee \u2013 which advises the UK government on climate policy \u2013 said the country was \u201cstrikingly unprepared\u201d for the realities of climate change. The report itself found \u201cfully credible\u201d planning for climate change in only five out of 45 adaptation outcomes the government wants to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, globally, climate change is accelerating. In the same month as the CCC report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warned that the world is at a critical point. Climate change is already causing \u201cwidespread adverse impacts\u201d and despite progress in the past decade, it remains likely that global warming will exceed 1.5C during this century.<\/p>\n<p>There couldn\u2019t be a starker warning to the UK and government that it needs to ramp up its efforts.<\/p>\n<p>The CCC report made several recommendations for the government\u2019s impending third National Adaptation Plan, which it will publish later this year. The committee called this \u201ca make-or-break moment to avoid a further five years of lacklustre planning and preparation\u201d &#8211; and they\u2019re right.<\/p>\n<h3>Things can only get hotter<\/h3>\n<p>The UK is already experiencing extreme weather events, and conditions are going to worsen.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, investing in net zero now will be cheaper than delaying. Not only does the UK face compounding costs from ongoing climate damage; it risks missing out on the clear economic opportunities the race to net zero offers.<\/p>\n<p>We need to adapt our infrastructure for climate change as soon as possible. To plan how to do that, we need a clear understanding of its vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n<h3>A system of systems<\/h3>\n<p>The UK\u2019s infrastructure \u2013 its energy, sanitation, transport and other networks \u2013 are part of an interconnected \u201csystem of systems\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>A failure at one point risks a cascade failure across all systems. As the frequency of extreme weather events grows, so too does the risk of widespread service disruption.<\/p>\n<p>The UK government needs to communicate clearly with industry to identify and prioritise our most at-risk assets. Only when we understand the true condition and interconnectivity of all our infrastructure systems can infrastructure owners, operators, legislators and regulators work together to deliver effective, targeted adaptation measures.<\/p>\n<h3>Closing the climate adaptation data gap<\/h3>\n<p>A new report by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) makes policy recommendations to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/sfs-sustainability-goals-how-the-construction-industry-is-tackling-climate-change\/125691\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">improve the climate resilience of the UK\u2019s infrastructure system<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Chief among these is the requirement for infrastructure owners and operators to report on their climate readiness and proposed adaptation measures.<\/p>\n<p>At present, the Adaptation Reporting Power (ARP) under the Climate Change Act 2008 is optional. The data gathered is also mainly qualitative, making it difficult for policymakers to build a coherent picture of where the material vulnerabilities are.<\/p>\n<p>By making the ARP mandatory and focusing on quantitative assessment \u2013 including figures for expected damages or losses in a \u201cdo nothing\u201d scenario \u2013 the government can work with industry to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction\/why-closing-the-data-gap-is-key-to-sustainable-construction\/120320\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">close the UK\u2019s climate adaptation data gap<\/a> and focus resilience efforts on the most at-risk assets.<\/p>\n<h3>How industry can lead<\/h3>\n<p>The ICE report also recommends that infrastructure owners and operators use digital twin technologies to understand where and how their critical assets fit into wider systems.<\/p>\n<p>Encouraging industry to adopt a systems-thinking approach is the first step towards a fuller understanding of our infrastructure networks, their constraints and dependencies, and where to target investment.<\/p>\n<p>The appetite is there. Around 80% of organisations invited to participate in the most recent adaptation reporting round (ARP3) submitted reports and featured in the final assessment. To a large extent, the onus is on policymakers to harness that willingness and make better use of the data it yields.<\/p>\n<p>But industry can also play a pioneering part. By proactively adopting data-driven technologies, infrastructure owners and operators can accelerate a new, systems-based approach that will strengthen the UK\u2019s infrastructure for generations to come.<\/p>\n<p>The ICE\u2019s report, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ice.org.uk\/media\/i0bbkeia\/ice-policy-position-statement-uk-infrastructure-system-climate-resilience.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How can the UK\u2019s infrastructure system be made more climate resilient?<\/a>, is available now on the ICE website.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>David Smith<\/strong><br \/>\nFellow and Sustainable Resilient Infrastructure Community Advisory Board chair<br \/>\nInstitution of Civil Engineers<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ice.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.ice.org.uk<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ice_engineers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/institution-of-civil-engineers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/institutionofcivilengineers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/civilengineeringtv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/institutionofcivilengineers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Climate change is here, and the UK isn\u2019t ready.
