Much infrastructure, built to design codes based on historic climate data, will require decisions in coming years regarding rehabilitation, upgrade or replacement. This poses both a challenge and an opportunity for adaptation. This review is one of a series of sector‐based papers commissioned as background to the report ‘managing uncertainty: adapting to climate change in ECA countries’ targeted at internal World Bank audiences as well as counterparts in client countries.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOenergy outlookadaptationclimate changeclimate projectionsclimate vulnerabilityWorking PaperWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/25984
