Thesis Overview

The increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters pose significant challenges to infrastructure systems worldwide. Building disaster-resilient infrastructure is crucial for reducing the socio-economic impact of disasters and ensuring the continuity of essential services. Insurance can play a pivotal role in promoting investments in resilient infrastructure by providing financial protection and incentivizing risk reduction measures. This project seeks to comprehensively analyze the implications of insurance in promoting disaster-resilient infrastructure and provide insights into the development of insurance products tailored for this critical aspect of disaster risk management.

This project aims to provide valuable insights for insurers, infrastructure developers, and policymakers on the role of insurance in promoting disaster-resilient infrastructure. By addressing the ethical considerations and social implications of insuring resilient infrastructure, this study aims to facilitate the responsible and sustainable development of infrastructure systems that can withstand the impact of natural disasters. Through a comprehensive analysis of insurance frameworks, infrastructure resilience, and the effectiveness of insurance in promoting disaster-resilient infrastructure, this project will contribute to the advancement of disaster risk management and insurance practices in the context of infrastructure development.
