Project name:Rapport sur la résilience des infrastructures mondiales, deuxième édition

GIR 2025 emphasizes resilience as a strategic imperative for sustainable development amid escalating climate and disaster risks.

Building on the 2023 edition, it provides actionable pathways to capture the resilience dividend through risk assessments, innovative financing, governance reforms, technologies, and nature-based solutions.

Highlighting that indirect economic losses from infrastructure failures far exceed direct damages, the executive summary and report offer practical strategies for governments, businesses, and institutions to embed resilience across planning and operations.

Impact

1

Resilient infrastructure reduces cascading economic losses, which are often seven times higher than direct damages. By enabling faster recovery and continuity of essential services, resilience safeguards development gains, stabilizes economies, and prevents long-term fiscal strain after disasters.

2

Innovative financing and governance reforms unlock the resilience dividend, ensuring resources for maintenance, retrofitting, and rapid reconstruction. Layered financial instruments, budget allocations, insurance, and risk pooling help countries absorb shocks, recover quickly, and sustain inclusive growth amid climate challenges.

3

Integrating technologies and nature-based solutions strengthens infrastructure systems to absorb and adapt to hazards. Smart sensors, digital twins, and green corridors improve risk management, while hybrid grey-green designs deliver cost-effective resilience with ecological and social co-benefits.
