Digital resilience​

Resilience is not only a humanitarian imperative but also a driver of innovation and growth. Today, the world focuses on disaster relief based on philanthropy when the disaster has already happened. Focus needs to move to pre-emptive actions based on digital infrastructure that is both resilient itself and provides smart predictive and analytic information that enables preparedness for disasters. Disaster resilience and preparedness require public-private collaboration.

Industrial sectors, including heavy and technology industries, must strengthen their climate resilience to safeguard operations and supply chains against increasing environmental disruptions. By leveraging robust digital infrastructure and predictive analytics, these industries can anticipate risks, minimize downtime, and ensure continuity even in the face of extreme climate events.

In this session, we will explore the role of smart digital technologies in augmenting disaster resilience through advanced preventative rather than reactive network solutions. We will also debate the roles of different players in building public-private partnerships to collaborate and move the needle on disaster resilient infrastructure and communities.
