Released: Global Infrastructure Resilience Report assesse infrastructure preparedness and resilience

Key Findings and Synopsis of the CDRI Report

For key infrastructure sectors like transportation, energy, telecommunications, water, and health, the Global Infrastructure Risk Model and Resilience Index (GIRI) offers financial risk metrics.

Investment Shortfall: By 2050, $9. 2 trillion per year in investment is needed to address global infrastructure gaps and climate change resilience

Climate risks include earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones, floods and droughts, all of which can have impacts on infrastructure.

Governance challenges Poor infrastructure governance is a key barrier in many LMICs to resilience efforts.

Favorable Results from the Study:

• Data-Driven Insights GIRI model provides first risk assessment for infrastructure resilience available to public
• Argument for Resilience as an Economic Issue Long-term economic growth, fewer service interruptions and asset loss result from investments in resilient infrastructure.
• Nature-based solutions (NbIS): The report focuses on NbIS as a way to build infrastructure resilience sustainably.
• Improved awareness: investors and policymakers have access to information they need to make informed choices

The report contributes to international cooperation through bringing together governments, financial institutions and multilateral agencies. To close the investment gap in resilience, more public and private capital is required. To guarantee robust infrastructure planning, nations must implement data-driven policies.AI, big data, and remote sensing should be used to assess infrastructure risk in real time.
