A phased approach to foster resilience in IDB infrastructure projects
Improving lives in Latin America and the Caribbean through resilient infrastructure starts with understanding risk.
This methodology provides a phased approach to integrate disaster and climate change risk considerations into project preparation and implementation in IDB-financed projects.
The three phases of the methodology are:
- Phase 1 - Screening and Classification
- Phase 2 - Qualitative Assessment
- Phase 3 - Quantitative Assessment
It integrates disaster and climate change risk considerations throughout the project lifecycle to strengthen resilience.
It equips decision-makers, project teams, executing agencies, specialists, consultants, designers, contractors, operators and stakeholders with a shared approach.
It identifies mitigation measures and informs project feasibility, design, implementation, and long-term management.
This brief training program will bring you closer to ESPS 4, with a focus on managing the risks caused by natural hazards and climate change.
Strengthen your technical and decision-making skills to incorporate disaster and climate change risk analysis techniques into the design of resilient infrastructure projects.
Develop key skills to facilitate Failure Mode Identification Workshops and strengthen infrastructure resilience to natural hazards and climate change.
The IDB integrates disaster risk management into sustainable development planning across LAC, emphasizing prevention—through risk assessment, governance, and resilience investment—and effective recovery. Using tools like RiskMonitor, the IDB supports countries in strengthening preparedness, fiscal planning, and institutional capacity to reduce vulnerability to natural hazards.
The IDB is aligning its financial flows with the Paris Agreement to support climate-resilient and low-carbon development in LAC. Through its Paris Alignment Implementation Approach (PAIA), the IDB ensures that new operations are consistent with climate change mitigation and adaptation goals.
