  Resilience in Action: Building Climate-Ready Communities Building a climate-resilient community Building Climate-Resilient Infrastructure As climate change intensifies, the need for climate-resilient infrastructure becomes increasingly urgent. Resilient infrastructure is designed to withstand the impacts of extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and long-term environmental changes, minimizing disruptions and safeguarding communities. This sub-topic explores strategies for developing climate-resilient infrastructure, highlights successful examples, and emphasizes the role of collaboration between governments, private sectors , and communities. The Importance of Climate-Resilient Infrastructure Infrastructure forms the backbone of modern societies, encompassing transportation networks, energy systems, water supply, and communication frameworks. However, much of the existing infrastructure needed to be designed to endure the intensifying impacts of climate change, leaving co...
