Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure✓

This week’s #SundayRead is a @straits_times take on the priorities shaping #COP31Türkiye, including climate finance, adaptation, and resilience, and what it will take to turn ambition into action. 🔗

✅ Making resilience knowledge accessible. ✅ Amplifying important conversations. ✅ Connecting audiences with ideas that matter. This #WorldCommunicationWeek, we celebrate the role of communications in advancing disaster #resilientinfrastructure worldwide.

🌊 When every minute counts, evacuation planning must be grounded in reality. A #CDRI Fellowship project explored how the Global Tsunami Evacuation Model (GTEM) can help local governments identify bottlenecks, test response strategies, and strengthen tsunami preparedness.

21 years after the Indian Ocean tsunami 🌊, resilience remains our strongest defence against future disasters. On #WorldTsunamiAwarenessDay, #CDRI's Ramesh Subramaniam reflects on progress in early warning systems, governance, and #resilientinfrastructure. Watch ⬇️

RT @UNDPasiapac: Local government representatives from 🇧🇩 Bangladesh, 🇮🇳 India, 🇳🇵 Nepal & 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka joined a 3-day regional workshop and peer exchange in Bangkok. Organized by @undpasiapac, @ICLEI_SouthAsia, @UNDRR, @CDRI_world & @cdknetwork, the event focused on inclusive climate resilience and disaster risk reduction in cities.

From negotiation to implementation at @turkiyecop31. At #COP31, #CDRI is championing disaster #resilientinfrastructure as a critical enabler of climate #adaptation. 🤝 Through ministerial dialogue, engagement with negotiators, and a new framework for national adaptation strategies, we're working to turn climate commitments into action. 🎥 Hear from @DavidWhiteDelhi & @suchi_m_p

RT @KVSinghMPGonda: Pleased to meet Mr Mathieu Lefèvre, Minister Delegate for the Ecological Transition of France. Discussed the areas of mutual interest including biodiversity conservation, energy transition, climate finance and COP31 priorities. Committed to strengthening cooperation through International Solar Alliance- ISA and Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure- CDRI. 🇮🇳 🇫🇷 #IndiaFrance #ClimateAction #GreenTransition #COP31 #Sustainability @PMOIndia @MathieuMlefevre @byadavbjp @moefcc

#NewReport: Towards Resilient Public Finance in India highlights a growing challenge. ⚠️ Disasters can add over ₹200 billion in public debt ⚠️ Nearly ₹100 billion in government expenditure The report underscores the need for #resilientinfrastructure, disaster risk financing, stronger risk data, and risk-informed fiscal planning. As climate risks intensify, building resilience means strengthening public finances too. 📘 Report:

New #blog: How can climate-vulnerable island nations strengthen resilience while safeguarding essential services? Supported through #CDRI's IRAF Trust Fund and implemented by @UNOPS, a resilience roadmap is helping the Marshall Islands 🇲🇭 strengthen health services, protect coastal infrastructure, and build institutional capacity for a changing climate.

RT @IRFofficial_org: Every USD 1 invested in resilient infrastructure returns around USD 4. So what’s holding delivery back? 🌍 Climate hazards could cost transport infrastructure up to USD 120 billion a year, and many road and rail networks were built for the climate of the past. At #COP31, the International Road Federation (IRF) jointly organising an event with the International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure (ICSI), Brazil’s Ministry of Transport, Arup, ORIS Materials Intelligence, FIDIC - International Federation of Consulting Engineers, Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure and Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) Nigeria. The session will look at how to plan, finance, build and run land transport networks that can withstand what’s ahead. Speakers: 🔹 Savina Carluccio, Executive Director of International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure (ICSI) 🔹 Thiago Casagrande, Senior Analyst at the Ministry of Transport, Brazil 🔹 Mike Evans, Director and Global Roads and Streets Leader, Arup 🔹 Nicolas MIRAVALLS, CEO and Co-founder of ORIS Materials Intelligence 🔹 Basma Eissa, Head of Policy, ESG & Sustainability at FIDIC - International Federation of Consulting Engineers 🔹 Suchismita Mukhopadhyay, Ph.D., Lead Specialist, Advocacy of the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure 🔹 Rachel Tyona from the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA), Nigeria Moderated by Alice Yiu, Head of Advocacy and Outreach at the International Road Federation (IRF) 📅 Wednesday 11 November, 13:30–14:50 TRT 📍 Transport Pavilion, Blue Zone, Antalya See you there! #COP31Antalya #ClimateResilience #ResilientInfrastructure #SustainableTransport #Adaptation #NDCs COP31 Türkiye

📰 @timesofindia spotlights findings from a #CDRI report on Odisha 🇮🇳, examining the economic impacts of disasters and the case for investing in #resilientinfrastructure before disasters strike. 🗞️ Coverage: 📘 Report: @AshokPradhanTOI @SandipMishraTOI

Some of the most effective resilience investments for existing infrastructure are often the most overlooked. ✅ Maintenance ✅ Retrofitting ✅ Data systems ✅ Capacity building These efforts strengthen infrastructure long before disasters strike and support recovery long after. 🔍 Explore the global case studies in #CDRI's research: #resilientinfrastructure

#SundayRead: Climate extremes are testing the UK's power system. A new @RMetS report, featured by @ConversationUK, shows how heatwaves and cold spells are straining energy infrastructure, making resilience, flexibility, and adaptation critical for future energy security. @Jo_Adetunji @ConversationEDU @metoffice @neso_energy

The 14th #CDRI Executive Committee meeting convened yesterday to review the Coalition’s progress and strategic priorities, including discussions on the Trust Fund, regional offices, and early impact evaluation findings. The Secretariat sincerely thanks EC members for their continued guidance, engagement, and support in advancing the global agenda for #resilientinfrastructure and strengthening resilience to disasters worldwide.

At @ICLEISouthAsia's #AriseCitiesForum 2026, #CDRI advanced a clear agenda for #resilientinfrastructure and #urbanresilience ➡️ risk-informed recovery, stronger data and institutions, sustained preparedness, and finance that enables every city, including those with fewer resources, to build urban climate resilience 🏙️

Effective early warning systems save lives and protect infrastructure. A new #blog explores how #Fiji is strengthening its multi-hazard early warning framework to improve preparedness, risk communication, and coordinated action against growing climate and disaster risks. A #resilientinfrastructure project in 🇫🇫🇯 supported by #CDRI through #IRAF trust fund. @TelecomFJ

Infrastructure losses don't stop at damaged assets. They impact economies, public finances, and communities. At the @UNDRR Senior Officials Meeting on #DRR, #CDRI's input paper informed discussions on #resilientinfrastructure, risk-informed investment, and stronger recovery pathways through 2030 and beyond. At the inaugural, Dr. P. K. Mishra, Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister of 🇮🇳 and CDRI Co-Chair, underscored 3 priorities: understanding interconnected risks, scaling resilience investments, and strengthening institutions and international cooperation.

RT @fadhilbm: Last night’s reported #ShintaphuLakeOutburst is a stark reminder of why disaster preparedness matters. Earlier this week, we launched Phuentsholing’s Disaster Management Contingency Plan, helping strengthen readiness and coordinated action when every second counts. @cdri_world
