The Global Infrastructure Resilience Survey (GIRS) 2025

As the impacts of disasters and climate change continue to escalate, there is an urgent global need to assess how national infrastructure systems can absorb, respond to, and recover from such events, as well as adapt to an evolving risk landscape.

The Global Infrastructure Resilience Survey (GIRS) is a global study that will gather perspectives from infrastructure professionals across the world and deliver unprecedented insights into infrastructure resilience across regions, sectors, and institutional structures.

The GIRS will help assess how national infrastructure systems can better withstand disasters, adapt to changing risks, and serve communities when they need it most. It will seek to identify best practices in infrastructure resilience, reveal regional differences in management approaches, and guide future policy decisions.

The findings will be published in the second edition of CDRI’s Report on Global Infrastructure Resilience, becoming a vital resource for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers worldwide.
