In an era of escalating climate risks and cyber-attacks, ensuring the resilience of critical infrastructure is crucial for sustainable development and global progress. Today, the majority of the world’s socio-economic goals rely on robust information and communication technologies (ICT). These systems must withstand not only increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks, but also the growing impact of severe weather events and rising sea levels.This session will explore the multi-faceted challenge of building resilient infrastructure – safeguarding ICT systems, addressing systemic vulnerabilities, investing in adapting technologies for sustainable impact, garnering international collaboration for quality implementation and more.It will also emphasize the urgency of transitioning to an all-electric and connected society – one that is resilient, fosters technologies for communities and ensures equitable access to clean energy for everyone.By focusing on innovative solutions and global standards, this dialogue aims to inspire actionable strategies for creating resilient infrastructure that fosters inclusivity, durability, and long-term sustainability.
