| style="width: 357px" | The Resilient Mobility initiative promotes actions and policy-making to develop robust transport networks, resilient to the future climate and extreme weather events. This is a necessity as the international focus on climate change adaptation action has traditionaly been directed towards mitigating the vulnerabilities in those sectors which directly or indirectly affects the food, water and shelter value chain, thus missing out the transport sector, which plays a vital role in the provision of the above mentioned fundamental services.  
+
| style="width: 368px" | This report explores the current climate change adaptation practices concerning transport across European countries. It provides an overview on the challenges and states the adaptation action, a review of a number of initiatives in different countries, and conclusions on a potential way forward. The objective of this report is to stimulate discussions among the many different stakeholders concerned with transport adaptation.

| style="width: 368px" | Within the scope of the Sustainable Hyderabad research project, local impacts of climate change on the urban transport infrastructure are identified to ensure appropriate adaptation and mitigation plans. Secondly, as urban infrastructure contributes to GHG-emissions, fossil-fuel consumption is to be reduced through technical improvements. Thus, a methodology is developed to design an energy-efficient and overall sustainable transport system (Mitigation Planning).

As climate change intensifies, more events like these, combined with long-term changes including rise in sea-levels, rapid melting of glaciers at the poles, and shifting of precipitation patterns — will have profound impacts on people, earth’s ecosystems and infrastructure. This publication explores five key elements—public engagement, decision-relevant information, institutional design, tools for planning and policymaking, and resources—that are expected to significantly strengthen the ability of any national government to make effective adaptation decisions.

| style="width: 357px" | Resilience (also called reliability and risk management) refers to a system’s ability to accommodate variable and unexpected conditions without catastrophic failure, or “the capacity to absorb shocks gracefully” (Foster, 1993). Security refers to freedom from danger or fear, which is an important goal of resilience. These concepts have many implications for planning in general, and transportation planning in particular (Berdica, 2002; Husdal, 2005). Resilience can be evaluated at various levels.

| style="width: 357px" | Based upon our research in Post-Katrina New Orleans, transportation resiliency is defined as a system’s ability to function before, during and after major disruptions through reliance upon multiple mobility options. The importance of a resilient transportation system becomes more apparent during disasters where multiple options for mobility are necessary for both passenger and goods movement due to the potential loss of one or more modes.
+
| style="width: 368px" | Transportation systems play a crucial role in responding to a region's pre-disaster evacuation and post-disaster recovery. Their ability to perform under adverse conditions in times of disaster depends upon the resiliencey of their fixed and moveable assets as well as their operational procedures before, during and after the event. For New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina was a "game changer"; severely impacting the city's transportation systems. This case study assesses the resilience of individual transportation systems.

| style="width: 357px" | The paper identifies the literature that deals with adaptation to climate change in the transport sector by means of an extensive search, and presents a systematic review of the publications. The paper shows that a broad diversity of actors is relevant for adaptation in the transport sector – ranging from transportation service providers to public and private sector actors and private households. Most adaptations discussed in the literature require inputs in the form of technical means, institutional means, and knowledge. A substantial share of the identified adaptations follows a top-down adaptation policy pattern where a public or hybrid operator initiates action that affects private actors. The review shows that the existing literature either focuses on overly general and vague proposals, or on detailed technical measures. The paper concludes that the knowledge on adapting transport to climate change is still in a stage of infancy and suggests fields for further research.

| style="width: 357px" | Much of the early work on infrastructure in disasters was on understanding the mechanics of how components of infrastructure systems perform when subjected to extreme forces or conditions. This basic understanding was then extended to the performance of component assemblages. Studies ranged from field work to laboratory simulations with scale models and computer-based analyses. While these remain active areas of inquiry, new research themes have emerged to address some of the complexities of infrastructures, which include societal as well as technical issues. How, for instance, will the failure of one bridge affect businesses throughout the urban area that rely on the transportation system? How will the failure of one infrastructure system disrupt other infrastructure systems? How can repairs following a disaster be planned so they minimize social and economic losses? Such questions have prompted research that is, by necessity, interdisciplinary which is the focus of this report.
+
| style="width: 368px" | The cosequences of recent disasters demonstrate the vulnerability of urban infrastructure in th U.S. Infrastructure failure is often a primary cause of economic and human losses in disasters. Thus, improving the resilience of infrastructure systems in not only a technical problem, but it also has societal dimensions.
