Building Climate and Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (DRI) in SIDS
This Community of Practice (CoP) seeks to strengthen collaborative engagement and seamless knowledge flow across the SIDS. It is expected to enhance knowledge creation and sharing on sustainable and resilient infrastructure planning, policies and practices.
The primary objective is to catalyze conversations between stakeholders and promote collaborative solution(s) for the challenges faced by SIDS. The collective wisdom of the CoP will also help in garnering the training and capacity-building needs of SIDS. Continued discussion(s) on SIDS’ priorities & ambitions, outlined by ABAS, and the action points will be one of the key objectives of the CoP.

Resilient Health Infrastructure Community
This Community of Practice (CoP) will act as a forum to share knowledge, bring together diverse stakeholders and institutions, exchange good practices and collaborate on solutions towards bolstering health infrastructure resilience. Under an initial two-year action plan, the CoP will build a network of experts working at the intersection of disaster and climate risks, healthcare, health infrastructure and critical infrastructure sectors, and will include thematic Working Groups.
Power Sector Practitioners in the Indo-Pacific Region
This community of practice is a dedicated platform for power sector practitioners focusing on disaster preparedness, resilience, and climate change adaptation in the Indo-Pacific region. This region, known for its vulnerability to a wide array of challenges including rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfall patterns, and devastating cyclones, is home to densely populated cities, many of which are coastal and exposed to various hazards. The community therefore recognizes the accentuated disaster and climate risks that pose significant threats to the region’s infrastructure, including critical power infrastructure.
Against this backdrop, the community aims to foster a collaborative environment where practitioners can share knowledge, exchange ideas, and work together to address these critical issues. We invite all those interested in contributing to this important cause to join us in our mission to create a safer, more resilient Indo-Pacific region. Welcome aboard!
Expected Outcomes
The community of practice is designed with the aim of achieving the following outcomes:
- Strengthened Disaster Risk Governance: With the aim to fortify disaster risk governance in the power sector, this community of practice involves discussions centred on enhancing the preparedness and management policies related to disasters, thereby ensuring a robust framework for disaster mitigation.
- Prevention of New Disaster Risks: The community will focus on proactive measures taken by countries to prevent the emergence of new disaster risks in the Indo-Pacific region.
- Reduction of Existing Disaster Risks: In addition to preventing new risks, the community will also attempt to address existing disaster risks in the region. Through effective risk management strategies, we aim to reduce the impact of these existing risks.
Community Goals
Knowledge Sharing and Collaboration
To foster a collaborative environment where practitioners can share knowledge, exchange ideas, and work together to address these critical issues centred on power sector resilience in the Indo-Pacific. The strategic platform engages key stakeholders in the Indo-Pacific power sector, focusing on enhancing disaster risk governance and resilience. It aims to shape stakeholder agendas through insights on climate and disaster resilience, with the ultimate goal of fostering a safer, more resilient Indo-Pacific region.
Strengthening Capacity
Strengthening the disaster preparedness capacity of power sector practitioners and facilitation of incremental changes in existing processes and policies to improve the power sector's institutional capacity to design disaster preparedness programmes.
