摘要

本研究旨在探讨可有效缓解尼日利亚拉各斯交通基础设施所面临的气候威胁的创新适应战略。研究强调,迫切需要创新方法来应对气候变化给交通系统带来的挑战。通过分析当前的脆弱性和气候变化对交通基础设施的潜在影响,作者确定并提出了当前交通基础设施因气候变化而面临的四大挑战。这些威胁包括海平面上升对沿海道路和桥梁的影响、内陆交通系统在洪水和暴雨等极端天气事件面前的脆弱性、风暴变得更加频繁和剧烈可能对交通网络造成的破坏,以及温度变化对路面及其结构完整性的影响。该研究还确定并提出了十项潜在的适应措施,这些措施可以提高尼日利亚拉各斯交通系统的抗灾能力。这些适应措施包括通过实施适当的排水系统和斜坡稳定措施来提高道路网络的抗灾能力,以及与私营部门公司建立合作伙伴关系,以促进可持续做法和绿色交通倡议的发展。为促进这些适应性措施的实施,作者利用这些措施为尼日利亚拉各斯的交通恢复力制定了各种政策框架。这些政策框架旨在为适应性措施的实施提供指导和规范,确保其有效融入交通系统。作者强调了利益相关者参与和公众参与决策过程的重要性,以培养建设弹性交通系统的主人翁意识和集体责任感。通过适应这些措施,尼日利亚拉各斯可以提高其抵御极端天气事件、基础设施故障或安全威胁等各种灾害造成的交通中断并从中恢复的能力。

Exploring Adaptation Strategies to Mitigate Climate Threats to Transportation Infrastructure in Nigeria: Lagos City, as a Case Study
This study aims to explore innovative adaptation strategies that can effectively mitigate the climate threats faced by transportation infrastructure in Lagos, Nigeria. The study highlights the urgent need for innovative approaches to address the challenges posed by climate change to transportation systems. By analyzing the current vulnerabilities and potential impacts of climate change on transportation infrastructure, the authors identify and propose four current challenges facing transportation infrastructure as a result of climate change. These threats include the impact of rising sea levels on coastal roads and bridges, the vulnerability of inland transportation systems to extreme weather events such as floods and heavy rainfall, the potential disruption of transportation networks as storms become more frequent and intense, and the implications of temperature changes on road surfaces and their structural integrity. The study also identified and proposed ten potential adaptation measures that can enhance the resilience of transportation systems in Lagos, Nigeria. The adaptive measures ranged from increasing the resilience of road networks through the implementation of proper drainage systems and slope stabilization measures to forming partnerships with private sector companies to promote sustainable practices and the development of green transportation initiatives. To facilitate these adaptive measures, the authors used them to develop various policy frameworks for transportation resilience in Lagos, Nigeria. These policy frameworks aimed to provide guidelines and regulations for the implementation of adaptive measures, ensuring their effective integration into the transportation system. The authors emphasized the importance of stakeholder engagement and public participation in decision-making processes to foster a sense of ownership and collective responsibility towards building resilient transportation systems. By adapting to these measures, Lagos, Nigeria, can enhance its ability to withstand and recover from transportation disruptions caused by various hazards, such as extreme weather events, infrastructure failures, or security threats.
