Overview of Event
The Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI), through its Global Infrastructure Resilience Report, provides a comprehensive assessment of infrastructure risk and resilience globally. While the inaugural Global Infrastructure Resilience Report (GIR 2023), grounded in data, evidence, and analytics through the Global Infrastructure Risk Model & Resilience Index (GIRI), introduced the concept of the resilience dividend (highlighting the long-term benefits of investing in resilience) across areas such as resilient finance and nature-based solutions, the Second Global Infrastructure Resilience Report (GIR 2025), launched at COP30, builds on this foundation by deepening the analysis and strengthening its practical relevance.
As part of its ongoing efforts to disseminate the key messages, CDRI is organizing a dedicated webinar with the PRIF to present the key findings, insights, and frameworks from GIR 2025. The session will present a structured overview of the report with a focus on how its evidence base can support infrastructure planning, investment, and policy decisions in the Pacific region.
