Please choose one topic from the fllowing:
1 A think piece about The Three Gorges Dam or similar Asia infrastructures (such as nuclear power plants or the extra-long bridges across the ocean) that are facing challenges of climate change.

As climate change deepens, the ecological damage becomes alarmingly visible and the promise of clean energy is difficult to deliver. What does this infrastructure story tell us about the carbon-centric climate politics? How to rethink the historical environmental criticism on the Dam in rapid changing climate reality?
