CDRI and UNDRR led roadmap outlines Chile’s strategy to enhance infrastructure resilience against natural and climate-related hazards. Using the Global Methodology for Infrastructure Resilience Review, the study assessed six sectors—water, energy, transport, ICT, health, and education—through risk profiling, governance analysis, and stakeholder engagement.
Chile faces high exposure to earthquakes, droughts, fires, and floods, with water and energy sectors most at risk. Despite strong institutional frameworks and the Climate Change Framework Law, challenges remain in intersectoral coordination, regulatory fragmentation, and private sector oversight.
The roadmap proposes cross-cutting and sector-specific actions, including improved data sharing, capacity building, and policy reforms. Immediate priorities include institutionalizing a cross-sectoral group, piloting regional resilience plans, and creating an integrated data center. The plan emphasizes adaptive governance, community engagement, and long-term investment to ensure sustainable, resilient infrastructure development.
