Empower Global Resilience through Infrastructure

Join us in strengthening the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, a global partnership committed to mitigating climate and disaster risks. Together, we can secure a resilient future.

Building Resilient Infrastructure for a Sustainable Future

With a need for an estimated US $90 trillion invested in infrastructure over the next 15 years, there is a leadership opportunity that will address gaps in data and technical capacity to mainstream resilience into all infrastructure.

Global Partnership

The Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI) is a partnership of national governments, UN agencies and programs, multilateral development banks and financing mechanisms.

Strategic Impact

The private sector and institutions work together to promote the resilience of infrastructure systems to climate and disaster risks, ensuring sustainable development worldwide.

Empowering Global Action Through Expert Collaboration

Miyamoto International has partnered with the U.S. Agency for International Development to provide financial, technical, and institutional support during a phase of rapid growth to strengthen the CDRI as a premier global resource for researching, assessing, funding, and managing disaster- and climate-resilient infrastructure investments.

Technical Excellence & Capacity Building

The goal of the five-year (2021-2026) Support to the CDRI project is to strengthen the technical capacity of the CDRI through comprehensive training and resource development.
