Transport Sector Climate Proofing in Timor-Leste

The project will help to better quantify climate risks (in particular floods and droughts) on the road network in Timor-Leste induced by changes in climate and environmental conditions (e.g. rainfall patterns, vegetation, etc.). It will also support capacity building activities to raise awareness about the impact of climate and environmental changes, with focus on natural capital and infrastructures (in particular roads), and the role of EO to support climate proofing and better watershed management. In addition to land cover and land cover change information, the delivered datasets will include recent information on topography, river networks, hydrological catchment delineation, rainfall anomalies and climate projection data, flood and drought risks, etc.
