This Report summarizes the proceedings of the El Salvador conference on strategies for adapting public and private infrastructure to climate change held in San Salvador on 30 June 2010. It also outlines the multiple development benefits of climate proofing infrastructure and the importance of conducting such an exercise within a broader territorial approach. While these Proceedings address the specific context of El Salvador, the methodologies outlined can be applied to a wide range of situations. The proceedings are meant to serve as a guidance document for practitioners working to protect public and private infrastructure from the devastating impacts of climate change in order to avoid human and economic loss.
