Research

The foundation of WRI’s work is producing high-quality research, including reports, issue briefs, working papers, guidebooks and more. Our publications are subject to peer review and held to academic standards of excellence for objectivity, rigor and quality.

This report focuses on the three types of climate risk – namely agricultural drought risk, urban waterlogging and coastal storm surges – that China is most likely to face in the future. We assess the expected costs and benefits associated with climate-resilient infrastructure investment and explore potential financing instruments and mechanisms that could help leverage finance.
