These resources are intended to empowercountries to make strong policy decisions by increasing their knowledge of available policies and associatedmechanisms and their practical application.TechnicalPresentation 4Probabilistic RiskModeling: BasicPrinciples andApplicationsStep 5:Preparing Comprehensive Green, Low-Emission andClimate-Resilient RoadmapWith mitigation and adaptation options prioritized through a multi-stakeholder participatory processand assessed for cost, countries can then prepare a comprehensive LECRDS roadmap outlining componentsfor carrying out the strategy. An example of an input to a roadmap with a focus on wind powerin a particular country is pictured in Figure 10.2 and summarizes detailed options, including a timeline,donors, players and actions.The roadmap facilitates the development of a long-term sustainable strategic framework for addressingclimate risk and its effects on public and private infrastructure. The creation of this framework occurssimultaneously with the implementation of concrete mitigation and adaptation actions, via demonstrationand fast-track projects. Learning from these immediate on-the-ground actions helps to guide thestrategy throughout its development.TechnicalPresentation 5An Economic Frameworkfor Evaluating ClimateProofing Investmentson InfrastructureTechnicalPresentation 6Supporting ElSalvador to ReduceInfrastructure Riskswithin a Green, Low-Emission and Climate-Resilient Frameworkfor DevelopmentPaving the Way for Climate-Resilient Infrastructure: Conference Proceedings 125
