Strategic note on climate change adaptation for European infrastructure managers

Climate change has both short- and long-term impacts, including extreme weather events and rising sea levels. Railway infrastructure is significantly affected, leading to deterioration, disruptions, and financial consequences. Launched in November 2022, the PRIME task force on adaptation to climate change has been a place for IMs to share knowledge concerning climate change risks, adaptation solutions and quantification of effects, and to engage in discussions regarding EU adaptation policies. The strategic note on Climate change adaptation for European infrastructure managers summarizes their work.
