Meeting the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement requires a transformational change in our infrastructure systems. Given the long lifetime of infrastructure, there is an urgency to build more of the right type of it. The failure to do so will lock-in emissions for decades to come, or create stra...

Zusammenfassung:Meeting the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement requires a transformational change in our infrastructure systems.
