Unlocking investments for resilient buildings using IFC’s Building Resilience Index

November 9, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am EET

09:00 – 10:00 (EET)

IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, is replicating its success in decarbonizing the building sector with EDGE green building certification for climate adaptation with Building Resilience Index. It is a web-based hazard mapping and resilience assessment framework for buildings, designed to facilitate access to location-specific hazard information, provide measures to mitigate risks, and improve transparency for disclosing a building’s resilience information between stakeholders, with the goal of channeling capital toward more resilient buildings.

Financial institutions have a key role to play in accelerating the transition to a more resilient building sector. We are already seeing forward-looking financial institutions responding to climate risks by encouraging borrowers to manage and adapt to climate change, responding to investor demand for climate-friendly portfolios, and financing more climate-smart investments.

Confirmed panelists: 

  • Ommid Saberi, EDGE Global Technical Lead & Building Resilience Index Global Lead, IFC
  • Aris Papadopoulos, Founding Chair, Resilience Action Fund
  • Angelo Tan – EDGE & Building Resilience Index Program Philippines Country Lead, IFC
  • Liza Silerio – ARISE Global Member & VP, SM
