dc.description.abstractClimate change is real and is happening. The change is made evident by the increasing occurrences and intensity of extreme events. As these extreme events are super- charged by climate change, what were once mere predictions have become reality. These extreme events pose serious threat to our society's infrastructures such as water resources, food resources, built environment, agriculture, health, energy and transportation. Essentially the study climate change consists of many components such as the vulnerability of our systems to climate change and extreme events, the impacts of climate change and extreme events, and the response policies, namely mitigation and adaptation. This is a preliminary study of a consolidative nature that attempts to connect the dots between climate change and extreme weather to study the impacts of extreme weather and climate change on infrastructures, the issues of water resources and built environment to climatic changes and of civil infrastructures due to climatic changes. The methodology of this study is mainly of literature research and case studies.
