The transition towards resilient infrastructure systems requires critical assessment and management of the interdependencies that exist within and between technical, social and environmental systems, both as a means to prevent and mitigate future losses and damages – and other adverse cascading impacts – and to build resilience and adaptation for the long term.

This interactive session will facilitate a conversation on how the systemic nature and interconnectedness of risks can be addressed to build safer, more resilient infrastructure systems. The discussion will strengthen awareness of available tools and approaches and will encourage dialogue on their effectiveness and pitfalls.
