Abstract

This research aims to investigate the effects of climate change on roads, buildings, and bridges infrastructures and provide solutions adopted in developed and developing countries to reduce or mitigate the impact of climate change on infrastructures. The methodology applied in this research consists of three parts, first in-depth research was carried out on Japan and Mozambique to assess the reasons these countries have a high-level impact of events generated by climate change, followed by an analysis of possible causes behind the high exposure to events generated by climate change, comparison in terms of temperature, precipitation, storms, earthquakes, floods, droughts and cyclones during the last 40 years, followed by measures adopted in both counties to reduce the impacts on infrastructure. In accordance with the result of the research, geographic location, climate, development, and economic expansion are major elements that may render developed and developing regions more vulnerable to catastrophic disasters. Furthermore, the methods used to combat climate change are mostly determined by the availability of materials, technologies, and cost aspects.
