Abstract

Preventing further global warming (reducing global Greenhouse Gas emissions to Net Zero), tackling other emergent sustainability challenges and enhancing societal resilience to all resilience challenges (including those driven by global warming - GWDRC) are deeply interdependent Wicked Problems. Collaborative, societal scale responses that are systemic in scope and focused on systemic transformation are required. In this article I argue that National Infrastructure is a societally significant leverage point the transformation of which into a Net Zero enabling, sustainability supporting, resilience enhancing system has a critical role to play in catalysing societal progress toward a sustainable, resilient, Net Zero future.
