In 2023
Infrastructure resilience is a critical global challenge
14%
of global GDP growth is at risk
each year from infrastructure
losses to climate change and disasters

80%
of this risk is concentrated in the
critical power, transport, and
telecommunications sectors

Disaster resilient infrastructure absorbs, respond, and recovers swiftly from disasters; and returns a resilience dividend including:
- $4 return for each $1 invested
- Reduced loss and damage
- Limited service disruption
In order to make our infrastructure resilient in the face of disasters, India is launching a Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure. I invite all member states to join this Coalition.”
Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, 2019
CDRI: A Global Coalition
CDRI is dedicated to enhancing the resilience of infrastructure systems to climate and disaster risks. It includes national governments, international organizations, and private sector. Members benefit from access to global expertise, funding, technical support, research opportunities, innovative solutions, and international best practices.

The document provides a methodology to check how strong and safe the infrastructure is against disasters and climate risks. It offers a five-step process, including policy review, stress testing, and planning improvements. The goal is to help governments find weaknesses, improve disaster response, and build stronger, more resilient infrastructure for the future.

The Global Methodology for Infrastructure Resilience Review provides a structured, five-step approach to help countries assess and enhance the resilience of their infrastructure systems.
Developed by UNDRR and CDRI, it begins with mapping institutional governance and identifying key stakeholders across sectors. It then reviews existing policies and regulations to evaluate alignment with disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA). The third step involves stress-testing infrastructure systems against multiple hazards to detect vulnerabilities and interdependencies. Step four assesses current practices using the Principles for Resilient Infrastructure through stakeholder workshops and scorecards. Finally, the methodology guides the development of an implementation plan and final report, consolidating findings and prioritizing actions.
Emphasizing cross-sectoral coordination, data-driven analysis, and stakeholder engagement, the methodology supports countries in mainstreaming DRR into infrastructure planning, design, and governance. It aims to foster resilient, sustainable infrastructure systems that can withstand and adapt to evolving risks.
