PIARC International Climate Change Adaptation Framework was presented at the Congress in Prague, in the workshop session. The purpose of this workshop was to introduce the Framework step by step, provide examples and answer questions from potential users.
The Framework guides road organisations through the process of developing an adaptation plan to address the impacts of climate change. It identifies the main issues and risks of climate change on road infrastructure and systems, through to selecting measures to address these impacts and integrate them, into decision-making. It is composed in a way that makes it applicable both for countries that have done some adaptation work earlier, and countries that are just starting to recognise climate change challenges.
The Framework consists of four main stages: Preparation, Assessment of vulnerability or risk, Identification and prioritisation of measures and integrating the findings into decision-making. Each step has been explained and supported by examples.
