The Global Methodology for Infrastructure Resilience Review provides a structured, five-step approach to help countries assess and enhance the resilience of their infrastructure systems.
Developed by UNDRR and CDRI, it begins with mapping institutional governance and identifying key stakeholders across sectors. It then reviews existing policies and regulations to evaluate alignment with disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA). The third step involves stress-testing infrastructure systems against multiple hazards to detect vulnerabilities and interdependencies. Step four assesses current practices using the Principles for Resilient Infrastructure through stakeholder workshops and scorecards. Finally, the methodology guides the development of an implementation plan and final report, consolidating findings and prioritizing actions.
Emphasizing cross-sectoral coordination, data-driven analysis, and stakeholder engagement, the methodology supports countries in mainstreaming DRR into infrastructure planning, design, and governance. It aims to foster resilient, sustainable infrastructure systems that can withstand and adapt to evolving risks.
Key points
- Five-step methodology assesses and strengthens national infrastructure system resilience.
- Stakeholder mapping identifies governance roles across critical infrastructure sectors.
- Policy review ensures disaster risk reduction integration in infrastructure planning.
- Stress-testing reveals vulnerabilities, interdependencies, and hazard exposure in infrastructure.
- Scorecard evaluates resilience practices using six global infrastructure principles.
- Implementation plan prioritizes actions, timelines, and stakeholder responsibilities collaboratively.
