PARALLEL SESSION: Resilient Infrastructure in the face of systemic risk impacts: Principles, regulatory frameworks, innovations and good practices

The parallel session seeks to provide participants with a regional look at the infrastructure agenda in Latin America and the Caribbean, based on technical and political dialogue around the concept of "resilient infrastructure."

In order to achieve the objectives set for SP8, a balance will be sought between technical/scientific knowledge, regulatory principles/frameworks, examples of good practices, and the challenges of the future resilient infrastructure agenda.

It is essential to highlight that the concept of infrastructure will be addressed comprehensively, including: (i) physical infrastructure, digital infrastructure, and green infrastructure; (ii) regional, national and local perspectives; (iii) an active participation of the face-to-face and virtual attendees to the session in the selection of the questions for the presenters; (iv) a geographic and gender balance for the experts and the person in charge of moderation.
