Compendium of Good Practices on Quality Infrastructure 2024
Building Resilience to Natural Disasters
In an era defined by the urgent climate crisis, unpredictable weather patterns and
increasingly frequent natural disasters, ensuring infrastructure resilience to such
events is paramount. This report discusses ways of enhancing government capacities
to prevent, react and rebuild, thereby minimising the impact of natural disasters
on infrastructure assets and operations. It identifies data, collaboration and technologies
as drivers of resilience, and highlights financial resources, technical skills and
regulatory frameworks as key enablers. The report presents seven actionable principles
to ensure infrastructure resilience, drawing from global good practices and in-depth
analyses of infrastructure projects in Colombia, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mozambique
and the United States.
