The European Investment Bank (EIB) has joined the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI), a partnership of national governments, U.N. agencies, multilateral development banks and the private sector, which promotes the rapid development of infrastructure resilient to climate change and natural disasters in countries at all stages of development.
Launched at the U.N. Climate Action Summit in 2019 at the initiative of the prime minister of India Narendra Modi, CDRI allows its members to share knowledge and resources and help countries to meet the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals and expand universal access to basic services. These are all key preconditions for the sustainable development of the global economy.
The EIB stands ready to work with CDRI members to unlock the benefits of E.U. initiatives aiming to achieve sustainable global connectivity, such as the Global Gateway, and climate action initiatives such as the E.U. Green Deal.
