Category Description

These are the intended use-case/justification for one or multiple variable groups. Opportunities are linked to relevant experiment groups. Identifying opportunities helps to provide a structure to map variables against requirements. Each opportunity description will convey why this combination of variables and experiments is important and how they contribute to impact.



AttributeValue
descriptionOpportunity to provide outputs of interest to the transport infrastructure communitys looking to CMIP7 for projections in order to evaluate impacts, risks, and potential adaptations . Climate resilience and efficiency of transport infrastructure can also have impacts on mitigation efforts given its role on current emissions.

expected_impactsThe variables requested under this opportunity support studies focused on the impacts of climate change on the transport sector (railways and road, mainly). The sector is severely impacted by extreme weather events, through multiple hazards such as heat, flooding, extreme winds, coastal erosion and storm surges. Future climate projections are used to inform business planning, adaptation and regulatory submissions by the transport infrastructure sector.  This is supported by substantial work in the topic focused on different regions of the world. A few examples listed below: https://wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/wcc.728 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10584-013-0810-8#Sec4 https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/14/14/8864 DOI:10.2791/15504 https://www.theccc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Understanding-climate-risks-to-UK-infrastructure-Evaluation-of-the-third-round-of-the-Adaptation-Reporting-Power.pdf
