It highlights growing awareness, expanding policy frameworks, and increasing interest in advanced technologies and nature-based solutions. However, significant gaps remain between ambition and implementation. Only 12–15% report comprehensive application of resilience measures, with weak enforcement of regulations, inconsistent risk assessments, and fragmented data systems. Capacity shortages, particularly in public institutions, limit planning, maintenance, and regulatory oversight, while funding remains heavily skewed toward postdisaster reconstruction rather than prevention. Still, regions such as East Asia and the Pacific demonstrate strong institutional capabilities, and governments globally identify regulatory strengthening as a top priority.  

With sustained commitment, improved governance, and crosssector learning, countries are increasingly positioned to advance more resilient, forward-looking infrastructure systems that can better withstand future risks.
