When local governments combine asset management practices with climate change considerations, they are better able to address both their infrastructure needs and sustainability goals.
Read this guide to learn why you should build sustainable practices into in your asset management approach, and how you can get started.
In this guide, you will discover:
- How a municipality's climate change goals and infrastructure planning objectives are related
- How asset management can help your municipality solve infrastructure challenges and take action on climate change
