Climate Change Analysis on Resilient Transport and Infrastructure in South Asia<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The relationship between climate change and the transport sector is initially divided into two facets. The first is reducing carbon emissions from transportation methods that rely on fossil fuels. The second is creating resilient roads to withstand the impacts of climate extremes.<\/p>\n
In the mobility of people and goods, South Asia relies on road, rail, and river transportation networks, which also serve as dependable mediums for accessing and delivering services.<\/p>\n
