In this current PIARC cycle there are four cross-cutting issues which are being progressed across PIARC Technical Committees and Task Forces. These include innovation, climate change, resilience and safety. This session deals with the cross-cutting issues of climate change and in particular, resilience. It will comprise presentations from PIARC Technical Committees and will cover topics of resilience of transport networks, societal resilience relating to disaster management, and structural resilience. It will be followed by a roundtable discussion across related Technical Committees to identify how these issues are currently being handled, overview of definitions and parameters of resilience, tools, methodologies and frameworks, and will provide an opportunity to share best-practice approaches. The Roundtable will also discuss how to foster cooperation and ensure that the developments of each related Committee are complementary. The outcome to be achieved is the provision of input to assist in the development of products underpinned by the cross-cutting issues.
