FUTURENET aims at describing the U-transport system in 2050, physically and in demand terms, and the transport network in 2050 the most resiliant to climate change. To achieve resilience, the following objectives have to be targeted: weather models with meteorological and climatic trigger, generic methods applicable to other transport corridors and dissemination of results amongst stakeholders, policy makers and practitioners.

By complementing the activities of its Member States, the European Union can support action by promoting greater coordination and information sharing between Member States, and by ensuring that adaptation considerations are addressed in all relevant EU policies.In April 2013 the European Commission adopted the EU strategy on adaptation to climate change which sets out a framework and mechanisms for taking the EU's preparedness for current and future climate impacts to a new level.
