Project name:Research: Global Infrastructure Resilience Report, Second Edition

Building on the success of the inaugural Global Infrastructure Resilience Report, the second edition will refine risk assessment methodologies and enhance their applicability.

It will address key questions from the first report’s preparation and dissemination, expanding its scope while integrating risk analysis and the financial, institutional, and technological dimensions of resilient infrastructure.

Featuring advanced modelling and analysis, it will downscale and project previous findings, shifting from identifying resilience dividend benefits to strategies for capturing them, driving actionable solutions for global infrastructure resilience.
