Risk and Resilience: Global Action Agenda
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: A focus on implementation
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 Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030: Reflections and Insights from the Global Engineering Community
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.
Building from the Summary for Urban Policymakers of the IPCC’s Report: From Science to Action
The SUP initiative has developed a companion series to the official IPCC reports, distilling the latest climate change science for the urban context.
Port Resilience Framework for Action
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.
SUP Consolidated report
All three volumes of the Summary for Urban Policymakers combined as a single report.
Implementation Lab at COP27: Engineering the vision for climate-resilient transport
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.
SUP Volume III: What the Latest Science on Climate Change Mitigation Means For Cities and Urban Areas
Drawing on latest research, this volume synthesizes key findings of the IPCC Working Group III Report for urban policy makers
SUP Volume II: What the Latest Science on Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability means for Cities and Urban Areas
Highlighting how cities and regions are a primary locus for innovation and societal choices towards adaptation solutions and shifting towards climate-resilient development pathways
SUP Volume I: What the Latest Physical Science of Climate Change Means for Cities
The Physical Science Basis offers the most current and comprehensive scientific understanding of changes to the physical world as a result of the climate crisis and their implications for cities and urban areas.
Five Year Review – A celebration
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.
Pushing the Boundaries of Innovation in Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure
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.
Port energy supply for green shipping corridors
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.
COP26 Resilience Hub Synthesis Report – Key messages and future directions
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.
ICSI Roundtable: What is the engineering community’s role in bridging the gaps on climate, sustainability, and resilience for infrastructure?
This paper includes key takeaways from a roundtable discussion hosted by ICSI at COP26, as well as information on newly launched ICSI initiatives.
Decarbonisation and the role of technology
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.
Addis Ababa Water Resilience Profile (CWRA)
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.
Hull Water Resilience Profile (CWRA)
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.
