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.
Following five successful years, Arup’s collaboration with the Lloyd’s Register Foundation to deliver the flagship resilience platform, The Resilience Shift, has now transitioned to an independent NGO. We outline the impact this work has had on infrastructure, engineering and climate change adaptation.
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 of the IPCC Sixth Assessment report series was launched at COP 27 on 11 November 2022
The SUP reports are a result of collaborative knowledge co-creation over one year and through a series of regional and global convenings held across the world.
A new report from ICSI, published on World Water Day, collates projects and cities that serve as examples of innovative solutions for climate adaptation, mitigation and development strategies, including the City of Rotterdam, highlighted for its ongoing innovation in climate resilience preparedness.
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.
Download a suite of City Water Resilience Approach resources and publications including the full methodology, the OurWater digital governance tool, and reports that capture the challenges of 9 cities worldwide as they build their urban water resilience.
A study by Arup, Lloyd’s Register (LR) and The Resilience Shift has outlined the critical role of ports in driving and supporting the case for investment in energy infrastructure. It focuses on the integration of fuel demand for early adopters in green corridors, ports, and energy systems.
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.
Our strategic partners, Resilience First, in partnership with the International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure (ICSI), of which we are a founding partner, have today announced the launch of the Engineering Leadership Group (ELG), a new engagement platform to capture the voice of global engineering firms.
