Measuring the transport network's resilience to climate change
Assesses how weather and climate change affect the transport network, and identifies existing resilience data and evidence gaps.

Details
These 2 reports set out the findings from the ‘measuring the resilience of the transport network to climate change’ research project, which aimed to:
- outline the data that exists for assessing the resilience of the transport network to climate change over time
- identify evidence gaps
Report 1: workstream 1 (WS1)
Reviews and summarises the evidence base for how the transport system is currently affected by weather and climate factors.
Report 2: workstream 2 (WS2)
Identifies existing data, metrics and indicators being used to measure key weather and climate risks, and their impact on the transport system.
Findings from Reports 1 and 2 were also consolidated into a third project output, to support DfT’s work on measuring weather and climate resilience. This included:
- identifying potential metrics
- reviewing existing data, metrics and indicators
- outlining possible next steps
This Department for Transport (DfT) funded research was undertaken by Mott Macdonald and KPMG. It forms part of the commitment to robust evidence, set out in the climate adaptation strategy.
