"The European Union Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change [COM(2013) 216 final] has identified standards as an effective instrument for improving the climate resilience of infrastructures across Europe. The sectors identified as priority sectors in the EU Strategy are:
• Transport infrastructure;
• Energy infrastructure;
• Buildings/construction;
• ICT infrastructures that are closely interconnected with and support the functioning of the sectors mentioned above. This resulted in the Standardization Request (Mandate M/526) addressed to the European Standardization Organizations (ESOs) in support of implementation of the EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change [COM (2014) 3451 final] issued by the European Commission (EC) and addressed to the European Standardization Organizations. Part of the work identified under this mandate includes the drafting, testing, and issuing of this guide. This guide has been designed specifically for standard writers of CEN-CENELEC infrastructure standards (and similar documents)."
