🏗️🌍 A new global standard is about to change how the world builds infrastructure.

ISO 22372 sets the first international reference point for safer, more reliable and risk-informed infrastructure, helping governments and investors make smarter decisions in a world of growing climate and disaster risk.

Built on UNDRR’s Principles for Resilient Infrastructure, this common framework arrives at a critical moment — with trillions of dollars in new infrastructure projects planned worldwide.

Why resilient infrastructure matters:
✔️ Saves lives and protects communities
✔️ Delivers benefit-cost ratios of up to 4:1
✔️ Adds only around 3% to upfront costs
✔️ Generates trillions in net benefits over its lifetime

ISO 22372 gives decision-makers a shared language for action and a clear blueprint to protect people, economies, and development gains.

🛠️ Now is the time to build risk-informed, resilient infrastructure.
Invest today. Safeguard tomorrow.
