The objective of the project funded by Department of Transport (DOT) is to conduct a pilot Conceptual Model that can be used in conducting vulnerability and risk assessments of infrastructure to the projected impacts of global climate change (GCC). The purpose of the pilots was twofolds; 1) to assist State DOTs to quickly advance existing adaptation assessment activities and 2) to assist Fedral Highway Administration (FHWA) in "test-driving" the model. Based on the feedback received through the pilots, FHWA will revise and finalize the model for national application.

This project uses the New Orleans Region as a case study to assess transportation resiliency both pre and post- Katrina, the devastating storm of 2005. Using the Katrina experience as a point of reference, the project aims to understand how the New Orleans region progressed in terms of transportation resiliency. In order to review the system as a whole, the study focused on pre-storm transportation and policy composition, the failures that resulted from the event, and what policy changes have strengthened the post-storm transportation system. “Lessons learned” and key policies in both the public and private sector post-disaster are highlighted. Inputs from planning and government officials were also used to identify policy and procedural changes that affected both evacuation and disaster response.

The objective of this project is to increase the understanding of climate change impacts and adaptation and to promote ‘climate resilient’ development of Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) cities. ICEM will conduct a climate change threat and vulnerability assessment in the towns of Battambang (Cambodia), Dong Ha (Vietnam), and Kaysone Phomvihane (Lao PDR), focussing on critical infrastructure. Through knowledge-sharing events and policy dialogues on climate change risks and adaptation, participating towns will learn about climate change impacts on critical infrastructure and the tools and processes necessary to adapt to climate change, tailored to their unique circumstances.

It presents background and concrete initiatives across sectors, including coastal protection, utilities, healthcare, and transportation, among others. The report provides an example of a large, global, coastal city preparing for the uncertainty of climate change.
