This session will examine how integrating Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) throughout the infrastructure development lifecycle can drive more equitable outcomes for climate resilience, ensuring infrastructure leaves no one behind. This session will explore the links between GEDSI and disaster-resilient infrastructure (DRI) and identify practical pathways for greater integration through policy, strategy, standards, and indicators.

This session is co-hosted by ICSI, the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI), and the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy (GCoM).
