Road networks are increasingly exposed to climate risks such as extreme heat, flooding and soil instability. From asphalt deformation to network disruptions, climate change is already affecting road infrastructure operations and safety. This article explores real world impacts, emerging vulnerabilities and the concrete adaptation strategies needed to build climate resilient roads.

Climate projections based on global warming levels are increasingly used to guide climate adaptation policies worldwide. Like the French Trajectoire de Référence pour l'Adaptation au Changement Climatique (TRACC), this approach links climate impacts directly to temperature thresholds, including the Paris Agreement targets. However, differing reference periods and methodologies create challenges for international consistency and a need for hamonization.

How can industrial facilities anticipate and reduce climate risks? Callendar and CNPP have joined forces to meet this challenge, generating detailed climate projections, turning them into a full vulnerability assessment and building tailored adaptation plans. This case study covering seven assets in Europe and the United States shows how this approach helps protect industrial infrastructure from climate change and strengthen long term resilience.

Over $2 trillion in global infrastructure losses are expected by 2035 due to climate-related risks like floods, extreme heat, storms, and droughts. A new report from Callendar highlights outdated design standards as a key vulnerability across sectors including energy, transport, telecoms, water, and roads.
