The cost-effectiveness of technology options is altered substantially when the costs of current and future flood events are incorporated into the equation. The study reveals that engineering or construction cost-based norms can under-estimate the benefits of integrating climate risks into infrastructure design, and the importance of capturing non-marketed benefits in such assessments. Findings indicate that policy interventions need to be sensitive to interaction effects between technology and climate change.application/pdfenSANITATIONFLOODSTOILETSCOST EFFECTIVENESSCIMATE CHANGE POLICYINFRASTRUCTUREHIMALAYARIVER BASINSPUBLIC HEALTHCLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATIONSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALSINDIASOUTH ASIAJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
