The Department for Transport (DfT) has launched a consultation on adapting the UK’s transport system to the impacts of climate change.

The open consultation, which will run until May 31st, seeks views on the transport adaptation strategy, which includes actions and policies to enhance climate adaptation planning and action across the sector.

The transport adaptation strategy includes actions and policies to:

• enhance climate adaptation planning across the sector
• ensure these plans are achieved
• lead to improved climate resilience in the transport system

These policies will be developed over the next 5 years to enable progress ahead of the fourth National Adaptation Programme.

The DfT is seeking views on:

• the policies included in the strategy and whether you support them 
• how effective you believe the policies will be at enhancing adaptation action taken by transport infrastructure organisations 
• what more you think government could do to adapt to the impacts of climate change on transport infrastructure
