Project name:Codes, Standards, and Certifications: Infrastructure Certifications
CDRI’s research highlights that most infrastructure needed by 2050 is yet to be built, making private financing essential for sustainable development.
Investors require efficient tools to identify high-quality, resilient projects.
CDRI facilitates this by advancing infrastructure principles, investment taxonomies, certifications, and labelling systems, ensuring climate and disaster resilience is embedded in future infrastructure.
These efforts empower stakeholders to prioritize risk-aware investments, fostering long-term sustainability and climate adaptation.
