Partenaire de mise en œuvre: Build Change
Project name:Research: Global Infrastructure Resilience Report, First Edition, Chapter 4
This chapter addresses the $2.84–$2.90 trillion financing gap for resilient infrastructure in LMICs by 2050, highlighting weak governance and policy uncertainty as barriers to private investment.
It outlines pathways such as national resilience policies, financial risk metrics, and structured project pipelines to attract capital.
Establishing a resilient infrastructure asset class is essential to mobilizing funds, leveraging the resilience dividend, and bridging investment gaps for sustainable, disaster-resistant infrastructure development.
