The Resilience Shift was set up in 2016 to address recommendations set out in the Lloyd's Register Foundation’s Foresight review of resilience engineering to improve the resilience of critical infrastructure.
The Resilience Shift's vision is that engineered structures and infrastructure will be not only safer (do not fail) but also better able to assure the continuity of critical functions. This is underpinned by two key impacts:
- Decisions made along the infrastructure life-cycle will account for how critical infrastructure contributes to the resilience of the larger socio-technical-ecological system.
- Critical infrastructure will be planned, designed, delivered, operated and maintained to serve communities (protect, connect, provide) under ordinary and extraordinary circumstances.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
