Major Impact:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The CDRI will serve as a platform where knowledge is\ngenerated and exchanged on different aspects of disaster and climate resilience\nof infrastructure. It will bring together technical expertise from a multitude\nof stakeholders. In doing so, it will create a mechanism to assist countries to\nupgrade their capacities and practices, with regard to infrastructure\ndevelopment in accordance with their risk context and economic needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This initiative will benefit all sections of society.\nEconomically weaker sections of society, women and children, are the most\nvulnerable to the impacts of disasters and hence, will be benefitted from the\nimprovement of knowledge and practice in creating disaster resilient\ninfrastructure. It will also benefit all areas with high disaster risk. In\nIndia, the north-eastern and Himalayan regions are prone to earthquakes,\ncoastal areas to cyclones and tsunamis and central peninsular region to\ndroughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Innovation:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
There are many initiatives on different aspects of disaster risk reduction and many initiatives on infrastructure development in different in a range of countries with different disaster risk and development contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A global coalition\nfor disaster resilient infrastructure would address concerns that are common to\ndeveloping and developed countries, small and large economies, countries at\nearly and advanced stages of infrastructure development, and countries that\nhave moderate or high disaster risk. Few concrete initiatives work at the\nintersection of Sendai Framework, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and\nClimate Change Adaptation with a focus on infrastructure. Focus on disaster\nresilient infrastructure would simultaneously address the loss reduction\ntargets under the Sendai Framework, address a number of SDGs and also\ncontribute to climate change adaptation. Hence, there is a clear niche for a\nGlobal Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Publication of\nnatural hazard risk information about the different regions in India will allow\nthe public to understand the risk in their regions and demand for risk\nmitigation and preparedness measures from their local and State Governments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
