===== KR9: Risks to major infrastructure supporting commerce and trade with implications for sustainable economic development, regional connections and livelihoods =====

<div id="h4-33-siblings" class="h4-siblings"></div>

Climate change and extreme events are expected to increase risks to the North American economy via infrastructure damage and deterioration ( ''high confidence'' ), disruption to operations, unsafe conditions for workers ( ''medium confidence'' ) and interruptions to international and inter-regional supply chains ( ''medium confidence'' ) ( [[#14.5.8|Section 14.5.8]] ; see Box 14.5). These climatic impacts will have cascading implications for local livelihoods, sustainable economic development pathways and regional connectivity, and will reinforce pre-existing social inequities ( ''medium confidence'' ). Infrastructure damage will also disrupt economic activities, including manufacturing, tourism, fisheries, natural resource extraction and energy production ( ''high confidence'' ) ( [[#14.5.8|Section 14.5.8]] ).
