Transport systems are increasingly disrupted by a broader array of shocks: extreme weather events, pandemics, cyber-attacks, geopolitical instability, and supply chain breakdowns. This session will focus on good practices of securing operations of freight corridors, multimodal logistics hubs, and essential transport services. It will explore how financing mechanisms can adopt a multi-risk lens, building redundancy and flexibility into infrastructure planning. It will examine approaches such as scenario planning, contingency financing, resilience bonds, and insurance schemes, along with cost-benefit analysis frameworks that quantify the long-term value of resilience investments.
• How can supply-demand forecasting, mode dynamics, and risk mapping guide prioritisation for global corridors?
• How can financial frameworks evolve to address compound and systemic risks in transport systems?
• What investment models support multi-hazard resilience across the full infrastructure lifecycle? What is the role of stakeholders’ cooperation in this regard?
