Adaptation of transport to climate change in Europe

The European Environment Agency (EEA)and others have long identified transport as an important sector in environmental terms. Over the last 15 years, the EEA has published annually the Transport and Environmental Reporting Mechanism(TERM) report looking into specific topics of sustainable transport, such as air quality, noise or urban transport, and tracked progress towards the Executive summary Adaptation of transport to climate change in Europe 7 achievement of environmental targets in this sector.
In recent years, climate change adaptation started to emerge as a new issue on the policy agenda. As an initial step towards the necessary widespread mainstreaming of climate change adaptation into transport planning and decision-making, this report aims to shed light on initial adaptation practices in the transport sector across Europe while providing a perspective on the emerging challenges and
opportunities.
