In Lithuania, like in other countries, climate change causes and will cause changes in natural and anthropogenic environment. The entire transport infrastructure will be impacted, influencing the way transportation sector plans, designs, constructs and maintains infrastructure in the future. Infrastructure is already sensitive to current climate variability. If today’s extreme weather events become both more frequent and extreme, so too will the level of disruption that they cause. Thus, road transport network must be adapted to changing climate conditions. The aim is to ensure resilience, to ensure that the road network remains open under extreme weather conditions. The easiest and the most effective economically way is to implement adaptation measures for the new or reconstructed infrastructure. But the existing older infrastructure should be adapted also. The steps required to improve and maintain resilience of road transport network are definition of climate projections, identification of key transport network and its vulnerabilities, identification and research on technologies for adaptation, preparation of methodologies, establishment of field operational trials. The aim of the research is to review Lithuanian road network in the context of climate change and its consequences. Methodology: climate and associated data collection and review, initial prognoses of the change (in short, medium and long term perspective) of meteorological elements, vulnerability assessment of the study area and the road network. Results: initial recommendations for adaptation action planning.
