Climate knowledge for resilient transport and logistics in the Baltic Region (IBA-CRISTAL)
The project produces detailed and tailored information on changes in transport conditions and potential risks in a changing climate. This information will help transport system actors in the Baltic Sea region to better adapt to and prepare for the future impacts of climate change.
Project objectives
The project aims to
improve the operational security and crisis resilience of the transport network in the Baltic Sea region
increase the understanding of the transport system actors in the Baltic Sea region about the impacts and risks of climate change on transport conditions and infrastructure
develop the capacity of the transport system actors to manage climate risks.
Project description
Based on the needs of logistics and transport system actors, the project produces detailed and tailored information on changes in transport conditions and potential risks in a changing climate. In particular, the project
produces weather- and climate-related indicators that can be easily used by transport system actors in their efforts to prepare for and adapt to climate change
increases understanding of the strengths and limitations of different climate databases in defining indicators about changes in weather events
produces a compact information package about the impacts of climate change on transport in the Baltic Sea region.
Dialogue with transport system stakeholders is used to tailor the information produced. Project information
Project duration: 12/2024–12/2026
Partners: The Finnish Meteorological Institute
