Measuring the transport network's resilience to climate change
Assesses how weather and climate change affect the transport network, identifies existing resilience data and evidence gaps and recommends metrics and next steps to improve measurement.

These 3 reports set out the findings from each workstream under 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
- provide recommendations for what further data collection could be undertaken to enhance the evidence base
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.
Report 3: workstream 3 (WS3)
Consolidates findings from WS1 and WS2 into a sector-level roadmap:
- showing what metrics could be developed to measure weather and climate resilience
- summarising what data, metrics and indicators are currently being used
- outlining potential high-level next steps that could be taken to measure weather and climate resilience
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.
