Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure is supporting 23 #resilientinfrastructure projects across 24 Small Island Developing States.
This project in the #Caribbean focuses on strengthening #resilience of education infrastructure to increase school and education continuity post-disaster in Antigua and Barbuda 🇦🇬, Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 and St. Lucia 🇱🇨.
Key activities include:
➡️ Conducting vulnerability and needs assessment
➡️ Developing actionable plans for #resilientinfrastructure
➡️ Developing disaster preparedness training modules for capacity building
➡️ Developing and sharing resilience knowledge products in the #SIDS
The nodal government agencies for this project are Ministry of Education, Sports and Creative Industries (MOESCI), Antigua & Barbuda; Cambio Climático RD and Ministry of Finance, Economic Development and the Youth Economy, St Lucia. The implementing partner is Integrated Health Outreach.

ResilUrban- Training for RTC Student.
As part of ResilUrban Project funded by CDRI (Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure), one day training for 18 Environment Science Students from RTC (Royal Thimphu College, Department of Environment Studies, Bhutan) was conducted on 1st January 2025. The training was conducted with an objective of providing hands-on skill to collect land surface temperature to assess its spatial and temporal variation with the Thimphu municipal area. Following the training, students collected land surface temperature from different location and land cover types. This is expected to help to validate LST (Land Surface Temperature) generated from the satellite data.
ResilUrban is collaborative effort of Bhutan Ecological Society (BES) and Thimphu City Corporation.

Arrancando el año compartiendo buenas nuevas: Tras un proceso competitivo, fui seleccionado para un nuevo puesto de coordinación de proyectos. Dejo atrás mi asignación nacional enfocada en cambio climático con United Nations Volunteers (UNV) y paso a un contrato NPSA (National Personnel Service Agreement) con el PNUD.
Estoy motivado por la oportunidad de ampliar mi colaboración dentro del programa, pasando del cambio climático a la reducción de riesgos de desastres en infraestructuras vitales, aprovechando aún más mi formación en ingeniería civil, así como en gestión ambiental y territorial. Este proyecto, titulado “Strengthening capacities, security and resilience of critical infrastructure in the Dominican Republic, Cuba and Haiti” que abarca los tres países antes mencionados, incluyendo coordinación con India. El objetivo principal es institucionalizar, a nivel nacional y regional, metodologías para evaluar la seguridad de infraestructuras críticas (especialmente educación y abastecimiento de agua), fortalecer los mecanismos de alerta temprana ante eventos climáticos, impulsar la cooperación Sur-Sur para mejorar la resiliencia de dichas infraestructuras y afianzar la capacidad técnica en República Dominicana, Cuba y Haití.
Esta iniciativa cuenta con el financiamiento del IRAF (Infrastructure Resilience Accelerator Fund) de la Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI), y representa desafíos profesionales motivadores, tanto por la dimensión multilingüe como por las circunstancias sociales que se viven en los territorios.
Honrado de seguir colaborando al desarrollo sostenible con el tremendo equipo de la unidad de sostenibilidad ambiental y resiliencia del PNUD Ana María Pérez Castaño, Pierre Candelon, Julissa Lopez, Clara Fernández, Jacqueline Sanchez, Patricia Díaz Acosta, Alexander Vallejo
As the world shifts towards net zero, are we truly building resilient infrastructure that can withstand the challenges of climate change?
At IGF ME&A 2024, Amit Prothi, Director General of Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, shared his perspective on “Transitions for Net Zero,” highlighting the urgent need for infrastructure that can adapt to future climate risks, such as extreme heat, changing wind patterns, and flooding.
His focus was on resilience – building energy infrastructure with an understanding of how climate change will affect grids and energy systems in the years to come. He also shared how CDRI is pioneering the integration of climate risks, such as heat waves and cyclonic patterns, into infrastructure planning.
The future of infrastructure depends on how well we can balance investment today with climate risks of tomorrow.

🌿🎉 We couldn’t let the year end without celebrating the success of NATURE!🎉🌿
Our project, Nature-based Solutions Applied To Unpaved Roads Engineering, officially reached the finish line this year! 🚧✨ Together, we tackled unpaved road challenges with a sustainable twist, and we couldn’t be prouder of what we accomplished:
✅ Achieved our main goal (yes, we nailed it!)
✅ 2 papers currently under review in peer-reviewed journals
✅ 2 papers published and presented at the XXI Brazilian Conference of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (COBRAMSEG 2024)
✅ 1 paper under review for the 2025 International Conference on Bio-mediated and Bio-inspired Geotechnics (ICBBG)
None of this would’ve been possible without the amazing support from our funder, Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, and the incredible work of our dream team: Isabelle César, Victor Ramos, Victor Carlos, Erika C. M. Carneiro, Rian Victor Flores Almeida, Paulo Wilton and Francis Rangel. 🙌 And a huge thank you to Mariana Chrusciak for steering the ship with me! 🛶
It’s been a wild ride full of experiments, fieldwork, and unforgettable moments. Here’s to embracing NATURE for better infrastructure—and to the many more papers and ideas this will inspire! 📜✨
Check out our milestone review video to see the journey in action. 🎥
