Guidance for Incorporating Resilience in Cost-Benefit Analyses (2026)

This guidance explains how to integrate resilience into transport cost-benefit analysis, including disruption risks from extreme weather, infrastructure failure, pandemics, cyber-attacks, and geopolitical shocks. It further provides step-by-step appraisal guidance on alternatives, impacts, uncertainty, monetisation, discounting, and sensitivity analysis, supported by international transport examples.[1]

Ready for Tomorrow: Seven Strategies for Climate Resilient Infrastructure (2019)

This guidance provides strategies that can drive the design, funding, and building of climate-resilient infrastructure to produce robust and sustainable infrastructure, more cost-effective investments, and reliable services.[2]

Tool ICLEI ACCCRN

Building Urban Climate Change Resilience: A Toolkit for Local Governments (2021)

This toolkit enables local governments to assess their climate risks in the context of urbanisation, poverty, and vulnerability and to formulate corresponding resilience strategies.[3]

Guidance OECD

Infrastructure for a Climate-Resilient Future (2024)

This OECD report emphasises that governments may embed climate resilience across the full infrastructure life cycle to reduce lock-in, vulnerability, and long-term economic and social costs. This report also highlights the strong economic returns and co-benefits of resilient infrastructure, calling for whole-of-government action, improved financing, and wider use of nature-based solutions[4].

Guidance Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure

Global Infrastructure Resilience: Capturing the Resilience Dividend (2023)

This CDRI report brings a unique body of evidence to make a compelling economic, political, and financial case to radically upscale investment in infrastructure resilience. Alongside this, it provides the Global Infrastructure Risk Model and Resilience Index (GIRI), offering publicly available risk and resilience metrics across countries and territories[5].

Guidance World Bank Group

Lifelines: The Resilient Infrastructure Opportunity (2019)

This World Bank Group report provides a framework for strengthening infrastructure resilience to natural shocks, drawing on global evidence and practical examples. It further sets out actionable policy recommendations for policy- and decision-makers and other stakeholders to improve infrastructure resilience[6].

Guidance World Bank Group

The Adaptation Principles: A Guide for Designing Strategies for Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience (2020)

This guide from the World Bank Group provides practical guidance for designing national adaptation strategies and mainstreaming climate resilience into development planning. Its tools and actions help identify adaptation needs, prioritise interventions, and guide implementation and monitoring[7].
