#ResilientInfrastructure

As #COP31 begins, #CDRI is calling for #resilientinfrastructure to be integrated across climate action, from adaptation and climate finance to technology, capacity building, and loss & damage. 📄 Position paper:

✅ 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.

#Resilientinfrastructure is designed and geared to anticipate the consequences of climate hazards across territories. #Innovation in construction and urban redevelopment allows to reduce the economic, social and ecological #impact of external shocks. #DYK

🚢 Seaports move 80% of global trade - but face rising climate & disaster risks. @cdri_world & @sust_coalition are launching a Community of Practice on Resilience Indicators for Seaports to advance #resilientinfrastructure worldwide. ⚓ Shape global resilience frameworks ⚓ Connect with experts & institutions ⚓ Drive scalable seaport solutions 📍 12 May 2026 | 16:00 IST 🔗 Join: @the_res_eng

#2025 was a strong year for CDRI’s trust fund, #IRAF, as we advanced #resilientinfrastructure with partners across vulnerable communities worldwide. From Haiti’s building code to Guyana’s drainage & PNG’s road guidelines - the funding helped vision become action. 📖 Check #IRAF Annual Report 2025 here: We thank our donors @dfat 🇦🇺, EU 🇪🇺, @MEAIndia Govt. of India 🇮🇳 & @GOVUK 🇬🇧 We also thank our implementing partners @BuildChange @gggi_hq @undp @unops @spc_cps @CARICOMClimate @UNESCO @undesa @undrr @geosafety @integrated_iho @NOCnews @carilecpower @NatureSey @UNDP_Bhutan @iihsin @GGGI_LAC @UNDP_Pacific @MPTFOffice @PNUDCuba

🔔#IRIS First Call for Proposals' AWARDEES 📢1⃣1⃣ Projects across 1⃣3⃣ #SIDS (Caribbean, Pacific and Indian Ocean Regions). CDRI received 50 EOIs in response to the first call for proposals which was launched at COP27. #resilientinfrastructure

At the #BRICS Dialogue on disaster #resilientinfrastructure, @cdri_world discussed key infrastructure risks, sectoral vulnerabilities, global frameworks, resilience standards, and innovative practices to enhance infrastructure resilience worldwide.

At #COP29, @cdri_world launched its first-ever #DRIPavilion: “Resilient Infrastructure: Resilient World.” It united global voices to: 🏢 Advance #resilientinfrastructure 🗨️ Share best practices 🤝 Forge partnerships 🎯 Champion vulnerable communities 🚀 At #COP30 in Belém, the Pavilion returns, bolder and more focused than ever. Read 'CDRI at COP29' ▶️ @COP29_AZ @Cop30noBrasil

Innovation & high-end technologies, have helped us face disasters efficiently. New technologies of data collection & computing power can provide more reliable info to support building disaster #resilientinfrastructure. Watch our video on how tech is revolutionizing infrastructure

Disasters weaken health systems when they’re needed most. #resilientinfrastructure is vital for effective emergency response 🏥🚑🚁 At the #JointCertificateTrainingProgramme2026, @RatneshPhD presented @cdri_world’s resilient health infrastructure framework -  an important tool to protect communities during disasters. 📺 Watch the full session: @UNDRR @UNOSSC @pahowho @UNTechBank

🚢 Seaports in #Seychelles are lifelines for trade, tourism & livelihoods. A @cdri_world funded #resilientinfrastructure project with @NatureSey is: 📊 Assessing climate risks to seaport infrastructure 🔍 Identifying vulnerabilities in port ops & supply chains 🗺️ Developing risk‑informed adaptation strategies 🤝 Guiding evidence‑based investments Building climate resilience for island communities 👉

#CDRI research shows indirect economic costs from infrastructure failures are 7.4x higher than direct damages. Investing in disaster #resilientinfrastructure minimizes GDP losses and protects assets & social systems. At #SB64, @cdri_world calls for: 📌 Recognition of DRI as a core climate finance priority 📌 Financing aligned to resilience outcomes 📌 Inclusive coordination for access & delivery Resilient infrastructure yields the best returns. Ignoring it means paying again after every disaster. 🔗 Read our Position Paper -

#resilientinfrastructure goes beyond physical assets. It's about keeping essential services running when disasters strike. In this #DRRDay conversation, @alpana_saha highlights how global collaboration, knowledge sharing and resilient financing can strengthen #resilience and protect communities. 🎙️Hosted by @TeenaJha, with @urabhi and @cghosh24, on @sansad_tv 🔽

#Budapest’s 16th District shows how nature-based solutions boost #urbanresilience. 🌿💧 Rain gardens, permeable surfaces & rainwater systems have cut flood risks since 2006 - creating a scalable model for sustainable, climate-adaptive city planning & #resilientinfrastructure. 🏙️ Explore this #NbS project in @cdri_world’s G20 Compendium:

As climate extremes redefine our reality, #resilientinfrastructure is no longer optional; it’s essential. At #FFD4 in Sevilla, @cdri_world & @UNDRR formalized a global partnership to scale up infrastructure resilience and help countries gain #disasterresilience. 🗨️ Together, they offer a powerful combination of policy influence and technical capacity - @AnthonyDavis25 writes in @HighwaysToday ⤵️ ✍️

🏙️🚰 A @cdri_world funded #resilientinfrastructure project in #India is strengthening urban #waterresilience across 6️⃣ rapidly growing, water-stressed towns. By giving urban local bodies the tools for risk-informed planning & strategic investments, the project is building #resilience into urban development. Key focus areas: 💧 Water audits 💧 Quality assessments 💧 Conservation practices 💧 Water reuse & recycling 🤝 With government agencies, experts & local stakeholders working together, the project is building #resilient, sustainable, future-ready water systems.

📰 @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

The 8th Management Committee meeting of @cdri_world's trust fund, #IRAF, reviewed progress across 29 projects in SIDS & LMICs, strengthening institutions and advancing climate & disaster #resilientinfrastructure. Looking to 2030, members reaffirmed their commitment to collaboration and scaling disaster resilience solutions worldwide.

The world economies must invest in #ResilientInfrastructure financing in order to mitigate & adapt to climate change disasters. #ResilientEngineering must be funded !

🧒👧 By 2050, over 2B children will face frequent, intense #heatwaves. That’s why investing in cooling solutions, access to hydration & inclusive governance is essential. @cdri_world’s Heat Smart Schools framework offers 7 actionable steps + #resilientinfrastructure recommendations to keep classrooms safe, equitable & future‑ready under #extremeheat. ☀️🏫 📘 Explore here:
