Improving resilience to climate change impacts requires us to assess risks and vulnerability to changing weather and climate conditions. Risk assessments can be undertaken to identify climate risks to transportation infrastructure and operations, and actions to reduce those risks.
This webinar will walk participants through a learning exercise to understand key climate change impacts for infrastructure projects or asset management planning. Participants will gain experience choosing climate indices that they can use to assess changing climate risk for a transportation asset of their choice and identifying potential adaptation measures that they can employ to reduce climate risks.
