Qué hacemos

La CDRI mejora la resiliencia climática y ante desastres de las infraestructuras mediante conocimientos técnicos, innovación, acuerdos financieros y gestión de riesgos. Sus imperativos estratégicos se centran en influir en las políticas y la financiación para la resiliencia global y local, integrar el desarrollo basado en el riesgo en la gobernanza y ampliar las medidas a nivel nacional. Al fortalecer las capacidades de las partes interesadas, la CDRI garantiza que las poblaciones vulnerables se beneficien de infraestructuras resilientes, impulsando el progreso sostenible y protegiendo a las comunidades contra los riesgos climáticos y de desastres.
