Developing Climate-Resilient, Nature-based Transport Infrastructure

Session Summary: ITF Summit – Session Summary “Developing Climate-Resilient, Nature-Based Transport Infrastructure”

The growing impact of climate change on transport, evidenced by severe floods, hurricanes, and heatwaves, coupled with the worsening biodiversity crisis, necessitates a combined approach to address these interlinked issues. As transport networks become increasingly vulnerable, understanding the intersection of climate resilience and biodiversity protection is crucial for sustainable development.

• How are transport providers assessing and prioritising climate risks to infrastructure?
• What strategies are they implementing to enhance resilience?
• What roles do nature-based solutions, such as green infrastructure and wildlife corridors, play in this process, and at what scale are these solutions being applied?
