Planning for and building climate-resilient infrastructure are essential to avoid "stranded assets" and to minimize climate damage to Africa's infrastructure (and the people using it). Roads and bridges in Africa's flood-prone regions are routinely washed away, having to be rebuilt at a steep cost. Dams and their facilities on the continent are facing closure given the El Nino, a threat that is compounded by the growing impacts of climate change, which are felt most keenly in Southern and Eastern Africa.
