Introduction
Climate change currently brings serious challenges to the human society. Multiple international governmental platforms have been established to find solutions. Governments of many countries are making progress actively to tackle climate change. Adaptation to and mitigation of Climate change are two major strategies. There are many factors that potentially result in climate change in the economic development process. Proactive measures should be taken to mediate these factors attributing to climate change. Nevertheless climate change has already brought upon the change of climate pattern such as the increase of extreme weather events, which seriously threaten the human society and world economy.
Transportation infrastructure is exposed to the natural environment and frequently subject to various influences of natural factors. Climate is one of the most important factors that significantly impact the performance and service life of the infrastructure and the normal operation of traffic. Extreme weather events are always coming with disastrous consequences. Construction of transportation infrastructure and traffic operation have also produced many adverse effects on climate change. How to address the challenges brought up by climate change and how to enhance the adaptability of the road transportation system to climate change are urgent tasks of our time. This seminar will focus on sharing experiences and inciting brain storming discussions on developing strategies for adapting and mitigating climate change and providing better communication and living environment for human beings.
Main Topics
- 1. Climate (change) impacts: assessment and evaluation
- 2. Impacts of road construction and operation on environment (climate)
- 3. Technologies that improve road resilience
- 4. Climate change adaption framework and policies
- 5. Adaptation strategies in design, construction and operation
- 6. Case studies
- 7. Innovative (Smart) technologies and systems
Language
Chinese and English, simultaneous translation will be provided.
