Not all risks can be fully managed; therefore, management efforts are typically prioritized toward impacts that exceed established thresholds of severity and frequency. (MECP, 2022)

Climate change is inherently characterized by uncertainty, particularly in projecting local impacts. This uncertainty poses challenges for engineers, making risk management a critical tool for prioritizing vulnerabilities and selecting effective risk reduction strategies. Uncertainty surrounding climate impacts underscores the need to build resilience through green infrastructure (GI) and low impact development (LID) practices (MECP, 2022). The [[No regrets|”no regrets”]] strategy refers to actions, such as LID, that have positive benefits for people and the environment, regardless of how climate change unfolds.
