Building on findings from the World Risk Poll, The Global Action Agenda on Risk and Resilience focuses on five key questions that the dataset can help answer in order to support consequent practitioner efforts at a global level.
The Climate Resilient Infrastructure Report is the first in a series of annual publications to report progress on the implementation of climate resilient infrastructure, and to showcase curated best-practice case studies and initiatives from around the world that have the potential to deliver change at scale and at pace.
The UNDRR’s Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction is undergoing a formal mid-term review to take stock of implementation and impact since its launch in 2015, understand what context shifts have occurred, and identify how to accelerate uptake to 2030 and beyond. There is currently no formal policy position from engineers on the Sendai Framework.
The SUP initiative has developed a companion series to the official IPCC reports, distilling the latest climate change science for the urban context.
This framework for action describes ten goals – across three dimensions: economy and society; leadership and strategy; and infrastructure and ecosystems – that together can transform port performance. It provides a line of sight for resilience from a policy level through to implementation at a port asset level.
All three volumes of the Summary for Urban Policymakers combined as a single report.
Transport infrastructure systems play a pivotal role in supporting society through provision of essential connectivity services to end-users, alongside enabling economic growth. To be able to deal with an increasingly complex and interconnected world and uncertain future, transport systems need to be more sustainable and resilient.
The Summary for Urban Policymakers (SUP) Volume I offers a concise and accessible synthesis of IPCC Working Group I material for urban policymakers. Human-induced climate change is affecting every region …
The Summary for Urban Policymakers (SUP) Volume II focuses on impacts, adaptation and vulnerability in cities and urban areas. Drawing on latest research, this volume summarises key findings of the …
The Summary for Urban Policymakers (SUP) Volume III focuses on climate change mitigation in cities and urban areas. Drawing on latest research, this volume synthesizes key findings of the IPCC …
This publication outlines the impact of The Resilience Shift work over five years. Many of the insights and initiatives showcased in the report will continue in the work of Resilience Rising.
ICSI, with the support of the ASCE and Arcadis, has developed an innovation framework for the promotion of resilient and sustainable infrastructure from around the world.
This report explores the opportunities and challenges associated with developing infrastructure for alternative fuels, through a case study of a green shipping triangle in the Atlantic.
This report synthesises the key overarching messages from The Resilience Hub at COP26 and aims to help set the direction for future actions towards COP27.
This paper includes key takeaways from a roundtable discussion hosted by ICSI at COP26, as well as information on newly launched ICSI initiatives.
The whitepaper is jointly published by Resilience First and Intel. It looks at four techniques (i.e. adaptation, renewables, energy efficiency and carbon capture) as they are applied by different industries and sectors in an effort to achieve net-zero targets.
The Addis Ababa Water Resilience Profile represents an opportunity to continue regional efforts to build resilience capacity and explore strategies, through multiple lenses, to improve the water security of the region.
The Hull Water Resilience Profile represents an opportunity to continue regional efforts to build resilience capacity and explore strategies, through multiple lenses, to improve the water security of the region.
Drawing on case studies and stakeholder engagement with infrastructure decisionmakers and practitioners around the globe, this whitepaper explores the current key challenges and barriers to implementing governance of infrastructure for resilience, and the opportunities available for positive change.
