Description

Infrastructure and capital projects such as roads, bridges, buildings, and utilities are being affected by climate change in new ways. As leaders seek to invest in projects with long lifespans and pursue net zero targets that are decades away, long-term planning has become fraught with uncertainty. From electricity outages to flood-damaged roads, extreme weather is already impacting our built environment in a real and immediate way. It will be imperative to understand and mitigate these climate risks in order to manage costs and ensure critical continuity.
In this episode, McKinsey Global Infrastructure Initiative (GII) senior leaders share their ideas and solutions on critical infrastructure issues. Join the conversation with Alex Guy, a partner at the international law firm Ashurst and Brodie Boland, a partner at McKinsey & Company, along with host Daphne Luchtenberg, McKinsey’s Operations Practice Director of Communications.See www.mckinsey.com/privacy-policy for privacy information
