Climate Resilience and Adaptation for Rural Roads
Discover how rural roads can become more resilient to changing weather patterns
We already know that climate change is having a significant impact on temperature, rainfall and wind speed.
Planners, designers and managers of rural road infrastructures must keep up-to-date with the nature of these changes. This includes understanding the likelihood of occurrence, as well as the implications on the financing, design, and maintenance of these roads in the future.
On this course, you’ll explore these factors and consider how new and existing infrastructure can be planned, designed, upgraded, maintained and adapted to become more climate-resilient.
What topics will you cover?
Climate Resilience and Adaptation for Rural Roads covers the following:
- Climate related issues which might affect the design, construction and maintenance of low volume rural roads.
- The Impact on the socio-economic situation of those reliant on low volume rural roads.
- How the changing climate affects the impact of the design.
- How the design, construction and maintenance of low volume rural roads can be modified to increase their climate resilience.
