Effective Planning For Resilient Islands Infrastructure
For island nations, the need for resilient infrastructure is a primary concern, whether it be cultural, economic, or societal. This type of resilience is fundamental, and forms a key aspect of adaptation and mitigation.
Effective planning and construction considerations therefore form a cornerstone of resilient infrastructure for island regions and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). There are various developmental challenges that hamper this resilience, such as outdated building codes, substandard living structures, and inadequate technologies.
These are some of the many concerns that have been effectively and practically addressed during some of the most relevant sessions held during previous editions of the Virtual Island Summit, and an example of one such session was sponsored by the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).
