Realizing Infrastructure’s Resilience Dividend: Essential insights for piloting, financing and delivering impact at scale

12:30 – 13:30 (EET)

Few organizations or parts of the world have fully realized infrastructure’s “resilience dividend” through new regulations, capacity-building, and effective pricing of climate risk. This session will dive into the rapidly changing state-of-play in markets around the world and equip participants with new insights and actionable frameworks for addressing challenges ranging from systems-level risk and asset-level modeling to enhancing equity and inclusion. Case studies will consider challenges inherent in diverse economies, scales of operation, and policy contexts, sharing inside knowledge about barriers and paths to hard-won breakthroughs. This candid, cross-sector conversation will spotlight emerging opportunities to capitalize on the potential of infrastructure that is both environmentally sustainable and climate resilient.
