The objective of the work is to assist the Albanian authorities in the prioritization of current and future climate, and seismic resilient investments in the road sector. The work has used climate and seismic vulnerability assessments, and proposed mitigation measures to improve climate and seismic resilience of the Albanian road network. The report finds that the investment in resilience and mitigation measures on the Albanian national road network is cost effective and is much less than the estimated annualised cost of the damage and loss that would accrue if mitigation measures are not put in place and maintained. 2019-05-03T20:13:02Z 2019-05-03T20:13:02Z 2019-02-01 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/696431556877729366/Climate-Resilient-Road-Assets-in-Albania http://hdl.handle.net/10986/31616 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Other Infrastructure Study Europe and Central Asia Albania
