About this Course This course focuses on road geohazard risk management in the context of increasing climate-related risks and their impact on transport systems. It highlights how disruptions to roads and transport networks can undermine economic development, public safety, and access to critical services such as hospitals, schools, and shelters. What you’ll Learn You will learn a step-by-step, systematic approach to managing road geohazard risks, including understanding the risk management framework, strengthening institutional coordination, identifying and assessing risks, applying engineering and non-engineering solutions, planning operations and maintenance, and preparing for contingency response and recovery. The course also includes real-world case studies that illustrate how these approaches are applied in different country contexts. How the Course Works The course is delivered as a self-paced eLearning experience structured into thematic modules covering planning, engineering, operations, and emergency preparedness. Learners can progress at their own pace and access reference materials and additional resources to deepen their understanding.
