| description |
Argentina’s vast networks of
national, provincial, and rural roads, spanning more than
240,000 kilometers, are critical for the country’s growth
and development. However, climate change–induced
hydrological extremes often disrupt road travel and raise
logistics costs. The objective of this study is to quantify
the impact of climate change induced flood risk on the
transport network in Argentina. The study analyzes both
current and future flooding scenarios, examines the
resulting disruptions in the transport network, and
estimates the direct and indirect macroeconomic losses. The
study uses a system-of-systems approach, where network
models are developed to suitably represent the transport
system as nodes and links. For each node and link, the study
analyzes criticality, vulnerability, and risk, and provides
adaptation strategies. This paper is organized into four
sections. Following the methodology and approach laid out in
Section 2, the analysis and results are detailed in Section
3,Conclusions and policy recommendations are presented in
Section 4. |
