The global hub for resilience best practice
The Resilience Shift is creating a movement to bridge the infrastructure systems gap, to create a safe, resilient and sustainable future for all, in a world that is full of disruptive forces. With our network of members, partners and collaborators, we will inform and promote greater resilience through influencing policy, shaping practice and sharing learning, as a global hub for resilience best practice.
