Executive Summary of the second report from CDRI titled Global Infrastructure Resilience 2025 (GIR 2025) provides a concise gist of the report along with its 25 key messages divided into 7 categories.  

The first Global Infrastructure Report (GIR 2023) released by CDRI in 2023. provided a global estimate and visualization of infrastructure risks and the ‘resilience dividend’, offering a solid economic and social imperative for investing in infrastructure resilience. GIR 2023 was a call to action and GIR 2025 is an answer to that call to action. It builds on the GIR 2023 report, providing detailed and practical ideas and roadmap to help countries capture the biggest possible infrastructure resilience dividend.

For the first time, the report defines and analyses in depth three specific and crucial capacities needed to reap the benefits of infrastructure resilience. The first is the capacity of infrastructure and systems to absorb the shock from a disaster. The second is the capacity to respond when disaster events occur.  The third is the capacity to recover from disasters. This includes the ability not only to rebuild when assets are damaged or destroyed rapidly, but also to rebuild better and stronger, thereby increasing the capacity to absorb future events.
