Principles for Resilient Infrastructure Event

by | May 18, 2022 | Sustainability & Resilience News

For our Sustainability and Resilience in Asset Management special interest group and the Asset Management Council membership more broadly, you may be interested in an upcoming event hosted by UCL, ICE OECD & CDRI on Principles for Resilient Infrastructure – a global standard for the improvement of infrastructure resilience, taking place as an online event on the 25 May.

With the overall intention of raising awareness and understanding on resilience of infrastructure, the objectives of the event will be to present the Principles for Resilient Infrastructure Report, elaborate on the concept of ‘net resilience gain’, illustrate how to implement the Principles for Resilient Infrastructure, and introduce policy instruments and tools for resilient infrastructure (CDRI’s lexicon, OECD’s Good Governance for Critical Infrastructure Resilience and ICE’s knowledge platforms).
