Abstract

The article presents an in-depth analysis of the data related to the assessment of the impact of climate change on the road infrastructure in Bulgaria. It is necessary to systematically collect, store, and analyze territorial data on the dynamics of changes in various climatic factors such as temperature, snow cover, precipitation, winds, etc. The article examines the main sources of such information in Bulgaria, their limitations, and shortcomings. Identifying the needs and weaknesses in finding usable data is an important step on the way to building a strategy to solve this task.
