N2 - Transport infrastructure (TI) is one of the most vulnerable assets to climate change (CC) impacts. With the dramatic increase in climate induced hazards, the crucial role of LS to society, economy and environment has put this area as a significant topic in need of improvement. There are several methodologies and climatic data that exist in research for mitigation of climate change impact, but it is often perceived difficult to translate this data into a simplified integrated process that can be followed by infrastructure managers ensuring effective asset management. Accordingly, the need for implementing climate adaptation measures can be justified through a criterion for having quantifiable key performance indicators to facilitate comparison of different solutions and simplify the decision making including different stakeholder engagement, resilience assessment, sustainability consideration and opens doors for the acknowledgement of Nature-Based Solutions as viable options for consideration. This paper aims to present a review for some of the recent current decision-making practices towards climate resilient Transport infrastructures and possibilities for in depth assessment and long-term monitoring and improvement.
