Description
Countries must rapidly scale up resilient infrastructure to address growing risks, particularly those linked to climate change. Achieving this requires clear frameworks for how national and subnational governments, as well as landowners, can fairly share the costs of resilience. Equally important is ensuring policies discourage infrastructure development in high-risk areas.
This session will examine policy settings that promote the equitable distribution of resilience costs. Given that resilience investments create both benefits and challenges for different groups, the discussion will also explore how countries can assess and balance the costs, impacts, and long-term advantages of resilient infrastructure.
