Purpose: The purpose of the study is to examine the impacts of climate change on intermodal transport.
Methodology: This study adopted a desktop methodology. This study used secondary data from which include review of existing literature from already published studies and reports that was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The impact of climate change on intermodal transport is associated with heavy rains, carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gases. The study also found that climate change has made the transport sector to develop strategies to mitigate the effect of climate change.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study used the agro-economic models and ricardian model for climate change assessment. The study recommended that additional maintenance and rehabilitation costs may be required to compensate for additional distresses related to climate change. Therefore there is need for heavy investment of emergency funds for repair and maintenance of the way, this includes ports and seas.
