Strengthening infrastructure resilience for climate change mitigation: Case studies from the Southeast Asia region with a focus on wastewater treatment plants in addressing flooding challenges

Climate change poses challenges to infrastructure resilience in Southeast Asia’s flood-prone regions. This study identifies and evaluates strategies for enhancing infrastructure resilience through wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. Using a mixed-meth...
