It has been documented that the fire- and warming-induced collapse of ecosystem structure and permafrost has damaged infrastructure, altered discharge pathways of surface water, disrupted native subsistence cultures, and aided the spread of invasive species [30, 31].

These factors, in turn, may contribute to a decrease in health-care utilization, particularly among the poor, which, together with the level of poverty and decaying socio-economic health infrastructure, alter the morbidity profile [ 16].
Bristol's road infrastructure was altered dramatically in the 1960s and 1970s with the development of the M4 and M5 motorways, which meet at an interchange just north of the city.
However, for individuals who work in an industry that provides critical infrastructure, significantly altering work related contact patterns is likely not a possibility especially if the behaviour change needed to be implemented for up to 6 months.
But one thing to remember about China is that it is capable of making rapid infrastructure-altering moves that are almost unimaginable in the West, given the right incentives.
Dr. W. Gene Corley, senior vice president of Construction Technology Laboratories in Skokie, Ill., and the leader of the trade center team, said in his remarks, "We must now live, build and function in a world where the performance demands placed on our built infrastructure have been altered".
Many coastal habitats are actually replaced with hard infrastructures which alter the taxonomic/functional structure of natural ecosystems worldwide.
Australia is set to suffer a loss of native species, significant damage to coastal infrastructure and a profoundly altered Great Barrier Reef due to climate change, an exhaustive UN report has found.
How the line was transformed illustrates some of the ways that infrastructure projects can alter a city.Since it opened in 2010 with extensions in 2011 and 2012 the London Overground changed two things.
However, it is likely that on-farm infrastructure investment will alter energy consumption and therefore generate considerable greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, suggesting potential conflicts in terms of mitigation and adaptation policies.
