This session presents insights from the Global Infrastructure Resilience Survey (GIRS), identifying global priorities for disaster-resilient infrastructure. Drawing on practitioner perspectives worldwide, the survey results highlight the institutional, policy, and technical capacities needed to adapt to evolving risks. A fireside chat and panel will interrogate the findings of the GIRS and explore practical, evidence-based actions to strengthen resilience across diverse regions and contexts.

This session is co-hosted by ICSI, and the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI).
