Summary

This document is a Biennial Report from the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure that presents a compelling economic, financial, and political imperative for investing in resilience, based on a new cutting-edge Global Infrastructure Risk Model and Resilience Index (GIRI), the first-ever fully probabilistic global risk assessment of infrastructure assets in all sectors. The GIRI estimates the growing risks to infrastructure from major hazards such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, tropical cyclones and landslides and generates financial risk metrics, which can enable governments, financial institutions, and investors to better understand and appreciate the contingent liabilities for which they are responsible.
