A compendium of good practices on Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (DRI)

The Compendium of Good Practices on Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (DRI) is an initiative of the G20 Disaster Risk Reduction Working Group (DRRWG) to showcase innovative approaches towards disaster resilience of new and existing infrastructure, facilitate shared learning and peer-to-peer exchange. The compendium includes 52 case studies from diverse regions and contexts, which may offer practical examples and learnings to policymakers, engineers, planners, investors, and other stakeholders for taking actionable steps towards sustainable and resilient infrastructure. The purpose of this compendium is to promote knowledge exchange and sharing through a collaborative process.

The selected case studies have been categorized into seven overarching themes that illustrate the functional dimensions and perspectives on infrastructure resilience and discuss challenges and lessons learned. The learnings emanating from these case studies have applicability in similar contexts. The thematic sections are as follows:

• A. Building Infrastructure Resilience through Sector-Specific Interventions;
• B. Embedding Resilience through Post-Disaster Reconstruction of Infrastructure;
• C. Financing for Infrastructure Resilience;
• D. Nature-Based Infrastructure Solutions (NBIS) for Resilience;
• E. Risk Assessments and Stress Testing of Infrastructure Systems;
• F. Strengthening Institutional;
• G. Infrastructure for Social and Economic Resilience.
