Urban Infrastructure Resilience Programme (UIRP)

With cities generating 80% of global Gross Domestic Product and rapid urbanization expected to bring 70% of the world’s population into urban areas by 2050, the need for resilient infrastructure has never been more critical. Extreme climatic events increasingly threaten urban systems, making proactive adaptation essential.

CDRI’s urban resilience programme helps Coalition Member Countries integrate climate and disaster resilience into infrastructure planning, operation, and maintenance, augmenting investments, ensuring sustainable and resilient urban growth.

CDRI issued the first Call for Proposals under UIRP in 2024. 5 projects in 5 CDRI member countries were selected for funding.
