Conventional infrastructure resilience tools often assess climate risks on a project-by-project basis, overlooking broader systemic vulnerabilities. This policy brief highlights the need for a framework to measure systemic resilience, addressing network-wide disruptions and their disproportionate impact on underserved communities. It calls for integrating physical climate risk into early planning and investment decisions to guide more resilient, inclusive infrastructure. By mapping current benchmarks and promoting actionable tools, the brief supports governments in developing adaptation plans and prioritizing investments that strengthen community and ecosystem resilience.
