Climate change even affects the safety of bridges

🌍 Climate change should not only be a concern for scientists, but also for individuals like you and me. The effects of climate change are far-reaching, impacting both our mental and physical well-being. 

🌉 One area that is for example affected is the safety of bridges. Climate change poses for example risks to the durability, serviceability, and geotechnical stability. From accelerated degradation of substructure to higher wind-induced loads, these risks have significant implications for the safety and functionality of bridges worldwide.

🚧 Check out this insightful article to learn more about the numerous ways climate change affects the safety of bridges:

is true that climate change affects everyone as an individual, therefore fighting it should never be an optional affair

I agree with this article. Bridges are important parts of the infrastructure, and a higher risk of collapsing has safety consequences for individuals passing on and below the bridge. And it can disconnect many relying on it. Climate change affects all of us in many ways. Unfortunately 😕
