EU Transport Day: Building resilient transport networks: strategies for protecting infrastructure against climate change

Join us as we kick off the EU Transport Day with the European Commission’s Director-General for Mobility and Transport Magda Kopczyńska. Climate change poses a serious threat to transport systems across the globe. As extreme weather events become more frequent, it is crucial that our infrastructure can withstand these challenges.

During this first EU Transport Day panel, experts will share their perspectives on the challenges we face in implementing the targeted adaptation efforts and investments needed to make our transport infrastructure more resilient to the impacts of climate change. They will discuss best practices for safeguarding roads, railways, bridges, ports and airports, and other critical infrastructure, against the impacts of climate change. Panellists will share their experiences, from the EU’s Trans-European Transport Network – the TEN-T – and other infrastructure worldwide.  
The roundtable will feature speakers from a variety of organisations, including representatives from the European Commission, the World Bank, academia and the private sector. This global pool of expertise covers research, financing, policy-making, and construction of climate-resilient infrastructure.
This event will be of particular interest to policymakers, project promoters in the field of transport infrastructure, the transport and construction industry, engineers, researchers, and anyone who wants to learn more about how to climate-proof transport systems. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from leading experts in the field, ask questions, and network with peers from across the industry.

We look forward to seeing you there!
