I thank the witnesses for their presence today. I want to return to flooding and our flood relief efforts. I have some questions on how we progress those projects and the contracts involved. In its climate adaptation strategy, the OPW endorsed the IPCC projections on the 1 m sea level rise by 2100.
What life span is projected for the projects we are planning and are under construction or tender processes? Is it the IPCC projections that the OPW has endorsed? We tend to design buildings to a 60-year lifespan. What is the lifespan of our current flood projects?
