Abstract

This report explores the current state of knowledge of climate change adaptation for transport infrastructure resilience in low-income countries (LICs) in Africa and South Asia. This was achieved through reviewing literature and undertaking stakeholder interviews and capability assessments of policies, tools and frameworks. The report explores the impacts of weather and climate on transport infrastructure in these LICs, the current ambitions of LICs in delivering climate change adaptation, the level of understanding of the issues according to transport stakeholders, the challenges and barriers LICs face in achieving their adaptation goals, and ways in which LICs can be supported to take steps towards increased transport resilience.
