Integrating Climate Change into Road Asset Management
There is a wealth of scientific reports that records the actual climatic changes that have been taking place during recent years. While there is debate over the causes of climate change, the rate at which this phenomenon is increasing is overwhelming – with the evidence indicating that the changes in our environment will impact large parts of the globe. The Transport and ICT Global Practice (T and I) provides clients with physical and virtual connectivity solutions, to facilitate the movement of people, goods and information, thus enabling access to food, jobs, health and education services, and stimulating economic and social development. This report highlights some challenges to the research and academic fraternity in understanding climatic impacts on road networks better, developing more resilient technologies and, most importantly, developing a better understanding to quantify the impact or benefits of climate adaptation strategies. The main conclusion of this report is that asset management, when undertaken according to best practice, is already one of the most significant climate adaptation strategies. With minor adaption to existing asset management processes and techniques, a far greater return may be gained from investment to allow for changing demands on road infrastructure, both from a changing climate and from an ever-changing population.

| description |
There is a wealth of scientific reports
that records the actual climatic changes that have been
taking place during recent years. While there is debate over
the causes of climate change, the rate at which this
phenomenon is increasing is overwhelming – with the evidence
indicating that the changes in our environment will impact
large parts of the globe. The Transport and ICT Global
Practice (T and I) provides clients with physical and
virtual connectivity solutions, to facilitate the movement
of people, goods and information, thus enabling access to
food, jobs, health and education services, and stimulating
economic and social development. This report highlights some
challenges to the research and academic fraternity in
understanding climatic impacts on road networks better,
developing more resilient technologies and, most
importantly, developing a better understanding to quantify
the impact or benefits of climate adaptation strategies. The
main conclusion of this report is that asset management,
when undertaken according to best practice, is already one
of the most significant climate adaptation strategies. With
minor adaption to existing asset management processes and
techniques, a far greater return may be gained from
investment to allow for changing demands on road
infrastructure, both from a changing climate and from an
ever-changing population. For more information, visit http://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/transport. |
