Third workshop on climate change adaptation in transport

Access the webinar on Resilience in Infrastructure Projects to explore best practices and tools for climate-proofing infrastructure in the 2021–2027 EU programming period, organised by the EIB Advisory through its JASPERS mandate. Learn from experts and EU Member States about implementing climate resilience strategies, overcoming challenges, and enhancing capacity building. Ideal for managing authorities, implementing bodies, and policymakers focused on sustainable, future-proof infrastructure development.

Discover how to apply the European Commission’s Technical Guidance on Climate Proofing in infrastructure projects during this JASPERS EIB Advisory webinar. Gain insights into climate risk screening, adaptation planning, and regulatory compliance for the 2021–2027 EU programming period. Designed for managing authorities, implementing bodies, and project developers aiming to align with EU climate resilience and mitigation standards.

On 18 June 2025, JASPERS, in collaboration with the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility of Spain, hosted an online workshop focused on integrating climate change adaptation and resilience into Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs). The session brought together representatives from Spanish cities and regions, aiming to strengthen the alignment of urban mobility planning with the EU Green Deal, TEN-T regulation, and the broader climate objectives of the European Union. The workshop explored the dual challenge of mitigation and adaptation in the transport sector, with a particular emphasis on the latter. Participants discussed the increasing vulnerability of transport infrastructure to climate-related hazards and the need for robust Climate Change Vulnerability and Risk Assessments (CCVRA) as a foundation for planning resilient urban mobility systems. Key topics included: • The role of SUMPs in addressing climate risks at urban node level within the TEN-T network. • The EU’s climate proofing requirements for infrastructure (2021–2027) and their implications for urban mobility. • Tools and methodologies for assessing climate sensitivity and exposure in transport systems. • Examples of adaptation strategies and action plans from across Europe, including Spain’s national road and rail networks. The event also highlighted the importance of intersectoral collaboration, public engagement, and the use of digital tools in building climate-resilient mobility systems. The presentation shared during the workshop is now available for download This initiative is part of JASPERS’ ongoing support to Member States in mainstreaming climate resilience into infrastructure planning and investment, in line with the EU Taxonomy and EIB Climate Bank Roadmap.
