In the lead-up to the launch of #GIR2025, @cdri_world and @sust_coalition hosted a #DRIDialogue focused on two GIR Surveys - for infrastructure professionals and businesses - undertaken to highlight ways in which disasters disrupt infrastructure systems. In this highly informative session, the speakers shared their insights from the surveys, including: ➡️ Businesses can suffer revenue losses of 17-25% following disasters. ➡️ Recognizing and incorporating hidden costs is essential. ➡️ Enforcement remains weak in many regions. ➡️ Public-private partnerships play a key role in fostering innovation and compliance. ➡️ Current financial systems fail to recognize the long-term value of resilience investments. ➡️ Communicating the cost of inaction is important. 📽️ Watch the full discussion: driconnect.cdri.world/all-events/cap… #resilientinfrastructure @Ede_WBG @the_res_eng @sirajt @BAyyub @rainasingh21
