Project name:Research: Global Infrastructure Resilience Report, First Edition
CDRI’s First Report on Global Infrastructure Resilience (October 2023) fills a critical gap in infrastructure resilience discourse, presenting a strong economic, financial, and political case for prioritizing resilient investments.
It leverages data from the Global Infrastructure Risk Model & Resilience Index (GIRI), the first fully probabilistic global infrastructure risk assessment, and explores financing resilient infrastructure and Nature-based Infrastructure Solutions (NbIS).
Its findings have guided policymakers and financial institutions, especially in developing countries, toward urgent action, reinforcing CDRI’s mandate towards resilient infrastructure.
