Climate-Resilient Transport: A policy guide for low-income countries in Africa and South Asia

Abstract

Addressing the challenges that transport networks face in low-income countries due to climate change supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030 in both direct and indirect ways. This emphasises the importance of taking steps to improve transport resilience.

This policy guide provides background and context on the problem and practical steps to develop, prepare and implement adaptation plans for transport resilience to climate change. Its information is based on findings in a recent State of Knowledge report on Adaptation for Transport Resilience in Low-Income Countries in Africa and South Asia, and as such, it is targeted at policymakers in these regions.

This is an output of the High Volume Transport Applied Research Programme.
