The frequency and severity of extreme weather events, such as floods, storm surges, droughts, bushfires and cyclones, are forcing public organizations to look at their strategies for safeguarding their infrastructure assets. The organizational challenges facing local councils worldwide in the context of climate change have not been adequately developed or understood. This article addresses this gap in knowledge with a model that identifies the organizational barriers to adapting infrastructure to climate change. Managers can use the model to also assess the vulnerability of their infrastructure to climate change.
