Abstract
Various theories and understandings exist around climate change. Depending on the viewpoint taken, various scenarios can be generated for the potential effects of these scenarios on transport infrastructure systems. This chapter evaluates the process of developing such scenarios with the focus on transportation infrastructure systems, and the potential effects that the various scenarios has on the systems.
