A strong base established, now to scale up our impact  

At the end of 2019, the Resilience Shift’s Programme Board took stock of progress in the year, and considered the findings of the programme’s mid-term review.

It was agreed that our work to date has made strong progress in its aims to create a body of knowledge and build a community of interest around critical infrastructure resilience. This puts us in a great position to build our impact in the coming years and make the difference we want to see in delivering resilience of critical infrastructure. Watch our 2019 highlights video.

Scaling up with new direction and new leadership

As an initiative existing to inspire and empower a community to make the world safer through resilient infrastructure, we want to have an impact at a scale that can achieve the urgent shift needed. To do this we must influence decision-makers and practitioners across the value chain for critical infrastructure systems globally.

Moving in to 2020, our focus therefore will be to deliver impact at scale, and key to this is the appointment of a new Global Executive Director.

A new direction and new leadership will focus on forging partnerships to accelerate and amplify the much-needed shift in how infrastructure is financed, designed and operated.

Reflecting on the key successes to date, an established and accessible knowledge base has been built with outputs from completed work activities available on the Resilience Shift website including:
