The article focuses on issues related to the assessment and interpretation of existing data on crisis events in the context of transport infrastructure. In the face of global climate change, analyzing these data becomes increasingly complex and requires in-depth consideration. The main challenges the paper addresses include the lack of comprehensive and up-to-date data, limited opportunities to analyze causal relationships between climate events and their impact on transport infrastructure, and shortcomings in existing analysis methodologies. The authors call for the development of new, more efficient methods of data collection and analysis that can serve as a basis for future strategic decisions.

The National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for the “Transport” sector until 2030 was developed in the period 2017 – 2019. After 4 years in the conditions of several overlapping crises, the recommendations contained in the document on main adaptation measures relating to institutional capacity building have not started. This is observed against the background of activity from a number of countries that are looking for models to assess the sensitivity of the transport infrastructure to climate events and, from there, measures to achieve sustainability and adaptability in the medium term. The article analyzes the problems of backwardness in Bulgaria and offers recommendations for increasing the participation of all interested participants in the transport sector.
