ADB green roads webinar series

Go-To-Webinar Online / Virtual

Discover how Earth Observation (EO) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are transforming the planning and design of climate-resilient roads in developing countries. This webinar will demonstrate how satellite imagery, remote sensing, GIS, and AI-driven route optimization can be used to identify feasible corridors, assess terrain and climate risks, and develop more resilient, cost-effective road alignments. Through real-world case studies and practical examples, participants will gain insight into innovative approaches that improve decision-making, reduce project risks, and support sustainable transport infrastructure development from the earliest planning stages.

Rural Connectivity in Developing Nations: Lessons From the Field

Go-To-Webinar Online / Virtual

Rural access is fundamental to economic opportunity and social inclusion, yet it remains one of the most overlooked aspects of transport infrastructure. Globally, nearly one billion people still lack reliable all-season road access, limiting their ability to reach markets, schools, and healthcare. The result is predictable: rapid deterioration, seasonal isolation, high transport costs, and increased vulnerability to climate shocks. However, policy and funding discussions are slowly beginning to shift towards emphasizing rural access as an important development priority.
