The report is based on an analysis of climate change impacts on the deterioration of concrete infrastructure that was funded by Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency (DCCEE) and the CSIRO Climate Adaptation Flagship.

It aims to draw together all the major outcomes from the study for the benefit of policy-makers, engineering designers, asset managers and other professionals and decision-makers in both public and private sectors to assist them to understand the potential impact of climate change on concrete infrastructure. 

It also aims to provide guidance and examples to assist appropriate adaptation responses at the design and maintenance stages.

The scope of the report includes the findings from the review, as well as impact and adaptation assessment contained in the three parts.
