Abstract:

This document summarizes Transportation Resilience: Adaptation to Climate Change and Extreme Weather Events, a symposium held June 16–17, 2017 in Brussels, Belgium. This symposium was the fourth annual symposium sponsored by the European Commission and the U.S. Department of Transportation and organized by the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The goals of the symposia are to promote common understanding, efficiencies, and trans-Atlantic cooperation within the international transportation research community while accelerating transport-sector innovation in the European Union and the United States. The two-day, invitation-only symposium brought together high-level experts to share their views on disruptions to the transportation system resulting from climate change and extreme weather events. With the goal of fostering trans-Atlantic collaboration in research and deployment, symposium participants discussed the technical, financial, and policy challenges to better plan, design, and operate the transportation network before, during, and after extreme and/or long-term climate events. This report is a compilation of the presentations and a factual summary of the ensuing discussions at the event. Case scenarios and breakout groups were organized into three sessions: managing the risk, minimizing disruption during extreme events, and recovery. Appendixes include a white paper, the three scenarios, the program, and symposium attendees.
