This report presents a compelling case for investing in resilient infrastructure. It introduces the Global Infrastructure Risk Model and Resilience Index (GIRI), the first global, probabilistic tool estimating financial risk across infrastructure sectors. The report highlights that 60% of the infrastructure needed by 2050 is yet to be built, and without resilience, $732 – $845 billion in annual losses are expected. It emphasizes the resilience dividend—benefits like avoided losses, reliable services, and environmental gains.
Key recommendations include integrating Nature-based Infrastructure Solutions (NbIS), improving governance, mobilizing private capital, and adopting national resilience strategies. The report calls for systemic change, especially in LMICs, where infrastructure deficits and climate risks are greatest. It offers a roadmap to align infrastructure investment with sustainable development, climate goals, and fiscal resilience.
Puntos clave
- Infrastructure resilience reduces disaster losses, boosts services, and economic growth.
- Low-income countries face infrastructure deficits, weak governance, and rising risks.
- Nature-based solutions offer cost-effective, sustainable alternatives to grey infrastructure.
- Climate change increases infrastructure risk, especially in vulnerable global regions.
- Financial risk metrics clarify resilience dividends, guiding smarter infrastructure investments.
- Governance, planning, and innovative financing are essential for resilient infrastructure futures.
