Climate adaptation of transport infrastructure — GCA

01Context

Transport infrastructure in West Africa is increasingly exposed to climate hazards.

Strengthening the skills of engineers is a key condition for the resilience of structures and territories.

02Issues

Anticipating climate hazards and their impacts was critical for the resilience of structures and territories.

The aim was to translate climate risk analysis into concrete and prioritized adaptation measures.

03Mission objectives

• Train engineers in climate risk analysis
• Disseminate methods for infrastructure adaptation
• Strengthen resilient project management
• Promote regional exchange of expertise

04Services delivered by EAU-GEF

• Design and facilitation of training modules
• Regional case studies
• Practical workshops on risk analysis
• Presentation and evaluation of outcomes

05Approach & methodology

The approach was based on hazard analysis, vulnerability assessment and co-development of adaptation measures.

Priorities were defined to remain operational and tailored to the local context.

06Results & added value

The project provided stakeholders with a clear roadmap to strengthen resilience to climate change.

It reinforces EAU-GEF's commitment to adaptation and resilience.
