S3E6 - Transport Resilience w/ Cathy Bebelman
Host Seth Scott interviews Cathy Bebelman. Cathy is the Chief Scientist: Head of Science and Sustainability with Auckland Transport in New Zealand. Cathy has an extensive background in the environmental impacts of infrastructure and transport networks, working as a researcher and consultant in the public sector for over 25 years. She advocates for a holistic approach to the management of climate and the environment. Auckland Transport made changes to their approach to transport after the 2023 Auckland Anniversary and Cyclone Gabrielle storms. This month they published their Climate Adaptation Framework and Action Plan 2025 - https://at.govt.nz/media/iqebfs0r/at-climate-adaption-framework-and-action-plan.pdf The storms caused 2,000 landslides across the region at a cost to repair of $360 million. Cathy discusses how they worked to resolve this as well as how their budget might need to change to incorporate climate related storm damage to come. That hasn't slowed down AT's electrification efforts. Aucklanders now enjoy a fully electric train system, the largest electrified bus fleet in the South Pacific, and new electric ferries on the water. And there's a lot more to look forward to. 👉 We'd love to hear your feedback, share your questions or comments below. 👉 Like & Subscribe so you won't miss out on our upcoming episodes! 👉 Keep up to date with the Infrastructure Sustainability Council: Website: https://www.iscouncil.org/ LinkedIn: / infrastructure-sustainability-council #podcast #infrastructure #sustainability #buildingtomorrow
