Sustainable Transport - Impact on rising sea levels

Mon, 24/07/2023 - 16:00
Author

Rising sea levels and increased saltwater intrusion will impact our transport infrastructure by damaging our bridges, railway lines, and roadways. Climate-proofing our infrastructure by using heat resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, building raised bridge decks, elevating transit stations, putting in place nature-based protection like mangroves and wetlands, to name a few, is crucial.

Sustainable Transport - Global warming affecting transport

Mon, 17/07/2023 - 15:57

Since 1880, #climatechange has caused the average global temperature to climb by 1.1 degrees Celsius (source: NASA). This means the number of really hot days and heat waves has increased with a variety of severe implications. To adapt public transport to climate change, walks to transit stations and waits at transit stations must be minimised. This involves re-structuring last mile connectivity options and designing transit stations to endure high temperatures, using heat-resistant materials, and adequate ventilation.
