Using mixed methods, it identifies major risks—floods, heatwaves and droughts—linked to weak infrastructure, poor WASH and unreliable energy. Retrofitting reduced disruptions by 50%–80% and was 60% more cost‐effective than rebuilding. Renewable energy and sustainable procurement lowered costs and emissions, though finance, expertise and enforcement remain barriers. Strengthening retrofitting, WASH, energy integration and partnerships is recommended. 10.1002/cli2.70024 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ |
