Key messages from the lectures
- Infrastructure is vulnerable to unexpected or difficult-to-predict events
- Deep analysis of uncertainties is needed to anticipate change and to design adaptation pathways
- Experts and policy-makers need to develop long-term policies that can anticipate these uncertain changes rather than merely react to the undesired events they bring about
- Professionals in these fields need theory, innovative tools and methods to cope with uncertainties and enable them to design adaptive plans
