New fact sheet! Concrete roads show better resilience to climate change and extreme meteorological events

Following the release of our infographic “Concrete Pavements make roads more sustainable”, EUPAVE’s working group on Environmental Strategy has produced fact sheets focusing on its different items.

The first document looked deeper into the high albedo effect. The second was focused on fuel consumption. The third on “100% recycling“.

The fourth fact sheet shows how concrete roads are more resilient to climate change and extreme meteorological events.

One of the aspects of climate resilience is the capacity of a system to absorb stresses and maintain function in the fact of external stresses imposed unpon it by climate change. For roads and infrastructure, climate resilience efforts aim at addressing the vulnerability with regard to the environmental consequences of climate change.
