Resumen

Climate, with no remaining scientific uncertainties is changing. First impacts of climate change are already felt in several fields, such as transport energy, agriculture and are expected to increase in the near future. Notably, transport networks are essential for economy and society: their adaptation is necessary. Therefore, the French National Climate Change Adaptation Plan has defined actions in its field ?transport infrastructures and systems?. Transversal working groups with experts of various transport infrastructures were established in 2011 and have developed a strong cooperation to address this issue. They published: i) a thorough review of technical, regulatory and normative standards that require an update to adapt construction, maintenance and operation of infrastructures and networks to climate trends and ii) a risk assessment framework to prevent future extreme weather events on transport. Aim of this paper is to present methodologies and results of both publications.
