The Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI) is dedicated to transforming the way infrastructure is designed, built, and maintained in regions vulnerable to natural hazards. Working alongside governments, institutions, and industry leaders, CDRI is paving the way for safer, more sustainable infrastructure that can withstand the shocks of climate change and natural disasters.

Recently, CDRI partnered with Impactpool. Through this partnership, CDRI is strengthening its mission to protect lives, economies, and the environment by promoting disaster-resilient infrastructure development.

The Urgent Need for Resilient Infrastructure

From cyclones and floods to earthquakes and wildfires, the frequency and intensity of natural disasters are increasing worldwide. Many of the world’s most vulnerable communities lack resilient infrastructure, leaving them disproportionately exposed to disaster impacts. CDRI works to change this by focusing on three core areas: infrastructure resilience, capacity-building, and policy development.

CDRI’s initiatives include collaborating with global governments to enhance their infrastructure planning processes, developing community-based projects, and guiding the private sector toward resilient investments.
