Five years of impact
Following five successful years, Arup’s collaboration with the Lloyd’s Register Foundation to deliver the flagship resilience platform, The Resilience Shift, has now transitioned to an independent NGO. We outline the impact this work has had on infrastructure, engineering and climate change adaptation.
The City Water Resilience Approach – learn from cities around the world
Download a suite of City Water Resilience Approach resources and publications including the full methodology, the OurWater digital governance tool, and reports that capture the challenges of 9 cities worldwide as they build their urban water resilience.
Pushing the boundaries of innovation to protect the world’s water resources
A new report from ICSI, published on World Water Day, collates projects and cities that serve as examples of innovative solutions for climate adaptation, mitigation and development strategies, including the City of Rotterdam, highlighted for its ongoing innovation in climate resilience preparedness.
The power and freedom of net zero
“The adoption of the Versailles Declaration… is a signal that this crisis can and must accelerate, rather than derail, the march towards cheaper, more secure, clean energy.” We share this opinion piece recently published by Nigel Topping, UN High-Level Climate Action Champion for COP26.
1/2 We're launching a global consultation to collect views from the engineering community on disaster risk management, resilience & sustainable development in the built environment. Results will feed into the Sendai Framework Mid-Term Review.

For #ThrowbackThursday we're delving in to our archives for our best blogs from the past. In this blog we look at #EarthEx 2019 which simulated a disaster event, and how it helped explore how interdependencies work in a crisis.
