• Room 4 – CICG, Geneva

The concept and practice of resilient infrastructure provides a concrete measure to achieve the objectives of risk-informed development, as enshrined in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. Green, blue and grey infrastructure form key components of critical infrastructure and demonstrate application of ecosystem-based adaptation and DRR. However, the conceptualization of these infrastructure sets, assessment of their benefits and scaling up implementation remains a challenge. This working session will promote an informed dialogue on this topic and discuss ways to better align or complement green, blue and grey infrastructure investments. Participants will discuss comparative advantages of evenly developing these infrastructure components, through concrete examples, and explore optimal benefits arising. Monitoring of their role and status, using Sendai Framework Targets (c) and (d), and different means to overcome the lack of data and feasibility perceptions discussed.
