Transport Research & Innovation Board (TRIB) – Climate Adaptation Hive

Summary

The Climate Adaptation Hive is an online tool designed to support climate adaptation across the transport sector by encouraging a cross-industry approach to sharing best practice. Developed by Connected Places Catapult for the Transport Research & Innovation Board (TRIB), it provides practical, sector-specific value to transport infrastructure professionals working across different modes and stages of the asset lifecycle.

What is the tool for?

The tool contains two parts:

• Case studies – examples of climate change adaptation measures applied to a wide range of transport infrastructure assets. The case studies include examples from both the UK and international and cover financial information, co-benefits and evaluation findings.
• Options table – a comprehensive table outlining climate change hazards, adaptation options and recovery measures for four transport sectors: aviation, maritime, rail and roads. A number of pre-defined asset classes within these sectors has been compiled and can be filtered against

Who is the tool for?

The tool is designed for transport infrastructure professionals working across different modes – aviation, maritime, rail and roads – who are involved in planning, designing, operating or maintaining assets. It is particularly useful for practitioners, policymakers, researchers and organisations seeking to share best practice, compare adaptation options, and improve climate resilience across the transport sector.
