This compendium, compiled by CDRI and G20 partners, showcases 52 global case studies on disaster resilient infrastructure. It spans sector-specific interventions, post-disaster reconstruction, financing mechanisms, nature-based solutions, risk assessments, and governance frameworks.
Highlights include India’s early warning systems, Nepal’s earthquake-resilient schools, Australia’s Betterment Fund, and Brazil’s water infrastructure projects. The document emphasizes inclusive, community-centered approaches, innovative financing like parametric insurance, and the integration of resilience into national policies and building codes.
It also features tools like GIRI and PCRAM for risk modelling. The compendium promotes knowledge exchange, aiming to support Least Developed Countries (LDCs), Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs), and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in building sustainable, resilient infrastructure systems.
