Please join the CSIS Sustainable Development and Resilience Initiative to examine the importance of U.S. government climate-resilient infrastructure investments in developing countries around the world, and best practices for applying a systems approach to infrastructure planning and design in the face of extreme weather. The event will also serve to launch “Resilience at Scale: A Systems Approach to Climate-Resilient Infrastructure Planning,” a report developed through an interagency process led by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) in support of the President’s Emergency Plan for Adaptation and Resilience.
This event is an opportunity to better understand some of the institutional, technical, and financial barriers to such a systems approach, and how U.S. government agencies, working to implement PREPARE, aim to overcome them. It will also serve as another window into the latest thinking about the emerging resilience economy around the world and how it relates to U.S. security and economic interests.
