Transport Infrastructure Assessment in Papua New Guinea

The project will contribute to creating an up-to-date picture of the transport infrastructure in central PNG where several ADB projects are under implementation, by providing a land use map and an inventory of artificial surfaces and features. Additionally, the project will deliver products helping to quantify climate risks that the road network is exposed to: terrain and infrastructure instability indicators, landslide inventory and landslide susceptibility map, precipitation/temperature/vegetation indices, etc.
