With climate resilience front of mind, Infrastructure Pathways is a new initiative by the International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure (ICSI), led by The Resilience Shift and in partnership with Arup. The initiative brings together stakeholders from across the infrastructure lifecycle to map existing guidance and provide line of sight for practitioners to embed climate resilience within infrastructure.

Today’s infrastructure is a complex network of interdependent and connected assets that support the ability of society to survive and thrive. At the same time, the impact that the climate crisis is having on our day-to-day lives is increasingly obvious, severe and widespread.

Right now, trillions of dollars’ worth of infrastructure expenditure is being planned, designed, constructed, managed, upgraded, or reaching the end of its useful life. If we don't take a systematic approach to what is needed and how to deliver it, it will be impossible to meet society’s needs for sustainable and resilient infrastructure.

There are many excellent guidance documents, tools and standards designed to help different stakeholders enhance the resilience of their infrastructure systems to climate change. Infrastructure Pathways aims to organise, consolidate and synthesise what exists in the market already, using a consistent framework that provides users with practical, achievable actions for each phase of infrastructure development that could be taken.

We are inviting those with an interest in this work to join us for a focused workshop to discuss and share the work to date and to identify individuals and organisations to join the user testing group for the forthcoming report and online platform. In addition, we are seeking input from those interested in piloting and/or disseminating Infrastructure Pathways following the global launch in the Autumn of 2021.

Presenters include:

• Kristen Guida - Manager, London Climate Change Partnership
• Miriam MacLennan - Principal Engineer (Civils), Network Rail
• Abhilash Panda - Head for Infrastructure Resilience & Deputy of Intergovernmental and Partnerships Branch, United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR)
• Dr Gianluca Pescaroli - Assistant professor in Business Continuity and Organisational Resilience, UCL

More about Infrastructure Pathways

Infrastructure Pathways is not just a report. It is intended to function as a tool or resource to be referenced regularly and frequently by practitioners as they go about their work. There will be two key outputs: a traditional publication and a web platform, both with curated references, tools and resources.

This will create consistency in language and approach for non-experts and experts alike to use across the infrastructure lifecycle. The website will be an interactive, filterable online platform that allows users to easily identify and explore guidance relevant to their needs.

Infrastructure Pathways is a new multi stakeholder initiative by the International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure (ICSI), led by The Resilience Shift in partnership with Arup.

The International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure is committed to driving practical, sustainable infrastructure solutions to combat the effects of climate change around the globe. https://sustainability-coalition.org/
