Climate risks and adaptation pathways for coastal transport infrastructure: Guidelines for planning and adaptive responses

Short Summary of Resource
A guideline to provide coastal transport infrastructure authorities and organisations with targeted information about climate risks for both assets and operations (including workforces)
Detailed description of the resource
This guideline examined key risks such as cyclones, storm surges, flooding, high wind events and increased lightning strikes as well as changes to rainfall patterns (leading to drought and water supply shortages), fog events, increased extreme hot days, temperature increases and long term sea-level rise implications and their impacts to transport infrastructure.The Guidelines provide practical information pertaining to strategies and measures for building resilience of assets and operations to climate risks and undertaking adaptation planning, including timing and triggers for adaptation responses and information on an adaptive pathways approach
