Disaster-Resilient Infrastructure
This publication explores practical ways of providing disaster-resilient infrastructure along with significant co-benefits across Asia and the Pacific.Risks posed by natural hazards are expected to intensify as economies grow, urbanize, and grapple with climate change.

This publication takes a holistic view of practices that affect infrastructure resilience, including risk assessment, investment appraisal, and operation and maintenance across the life cycle of an infrastructure asset. It considers overarching approaches to achieving system-wide resilience and financing and governance objectives.

Guide to Insurable Infrastructure in the Pacific
This guide outlines issues facing Pacific countries as they struggle to build resilient infrastructure and shows how proactive steps to mitigate risk including early engagement with insurers could drive the investment they need.Designed as a roadmap to help contractors and other stakeholders navigate the insurance landscape, it outlines why vulnerable Pacific countries have limited insurance market access and details how that impacts construction. Analyzing available insurance policies, the guide recommends ways to improve coverage and shows why creating a regional pooled risk facility could cut insurance costs and ramp up the infrastructure the Pacific needs to drive inclusive economic growth.
