Our recent report, Infrastructure for a Climate-Resilient Future, shows that economic losses from climate-related disasters are estimated to have increased sevenfold from an annual average of USD 198 billion in the 1970s to USD 1.6 trillion in the 2010s. New #infrastructure developments are an opportunity to build-in #climate resilience early-on and at a lower cost than having to retrofit existing assets. In light of this, we explore how to unlock finance for climate-resilient infrastructure. Two key elements are: 🏗️Making climate #resilience the norm for all infrastructure financing & investment 💡Exploring new funding models Take a look at the digital report, where we dive deeper into the issue: https://brnw.ch/21wLZvw

📣 After three fruitful months of hard work, InfraVision Think Tank For Sustainable Infrastructure is finalizing the groundwork on its annual research on "Inclusive Infrastructure". This summer, we will be drafting our comprehensive report, building on a series of insightful events:   - A 2-hour webinar recorded on April 5th, featuring public figures and experts, including László Andor, Zoi Christoforou, and Professor Sadie Morgan OBE, addressing pressing challenges and designing innovative solutions for the future.   - A breakfast panel on May 14th, exploring key topics such as the role of regulatory frameworks, innovative business models, and strategies for incentivizing sustainable infrastructure development, with distinguished panelists: Elisabeth Kotthaus, Nicolas Pinaud, Sara Fisher Ellison, Jérôme Stubler, Sébastien FRAISSE, and Philippe Gagnepain.   - An inspiring speech by #EstherDuflo, 2019 Nobel Prize in Economics, on June 17th, focusing on inequalities and infrastructure.   - Our new podcast series moderated by Matthew Bishop, former The Economist's U.S. Business Editor and New York Bureau Chief, featuring episodes on the importance of inclusion in infrastructure (with Xavier Girre, Sergio Osle, Antoine Picon), the power of inclusive assets operators (with Sébastien Petithuguenin, Simon Whistler, Prof. Dr. Bryan T. Abey), and inclusive infrastructure for inclusive cities (with Harvey Hollins III, Isabelle Aprile, Yves Lederer).   - Save the Date: November 6th, for the publication of our final report and an experts panel discussion during the annual #ParisInfraWeek. 📅   Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to push the boundaries of sustainable infrastructure innovation!   #InfraVision #Infrastructure #Sustainability #Inclusive #SustainableCities #InclusiveInfrastructure

Infrastructure development: is more than just building; it's about laying the groundwork for progress and prosperity. From bridges to broadband, every project plays a vital role in shaping the future of our communities. Let's explore the transformative power of infrastructure and the opportunities it creates for economic growth, innovation, and connectivity. #InfrastructureDevelopment #BuildingTomorrow #EconomicGrowth #pivot

Scottish Futures Trust, Ramboll and The Scottish Government share key findings from innovative pilot projects exploring how data and technology can revolutionise planning and placemaking decisions. The report examines three pilots: • Glasgow's City Centre Living Strategy • Perth's Cultural Quarter • Western Isles Infrastructure Investment Impact Model Key outcomes demonstrate how enhanced data visualisation and collaboration can transform decision-making in Scotland's built environment sector. The pilots tested new approaches to data curation, visualisation and analysis - providing crucial insights for future development of the PlaceTech Lab concept.

Great work by my HDR colleagues Christopher Behr and Cathy LaFata who were recently interviewed about a new economic method to help assess the value of an infrastructure project for different populations based on income. Equity is a critical component of both sustainability and resilience. This groundbreaking research helps infrastructure owners and policy leaders make better informed and equitable decisions on infrastructure funding.
