Global Infrastructure Risk Model & Resilience Index
Partenaire de mise en œuvre: Build Change
Project name:Research: Global Infrastructure Risk Model & Resilience Index (GIRI)
GIRI is the first fully probabilistic global risk assessment of infrastructure assets across key sectors, including power, telecommunications, transport, water, energy, and essential services like health and education.
It quantifies risks posed by geological and climate-related hazards—earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, floods, cyclones, and droughts—across every country and territory.
By providing a comprehensive risk profile, GIRI equips decision makers with actionable insights to strengthen infrastructure resilience and reduce future disruptions.

Impact
1
GIRI’s risk data has supported CDRI’s technical studies, including the Fiscal Risk Assessment in Fiji, India, Mauritius, and Nepal, and the Infrastructure Governance Programme with UNDRR in Bhutan, Chile, Ghana, Madagascar, and Tonga, strengthening resilience strategies globally.
2
GIRI is leveraged by partners, including the World Bank, IWMI, BCG, UNESCAP for SDG monitoring and impact assessments, OPSIS at Oxford University for evaluating climate risks, and Deloitte for integrating GIRI into the AI for Infrastructure Resilience project.
3
The World Bank has integrated GIRI data into its data portal, improving accessibility and usability while supporting the creation of a legacy platform. This enhances data-driven decision-making for global infrastructure resilience and long-term risk management strategies.
