Welcoming all the participants, FM Smt. @nsitharaman said that Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi created the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure #CDRI to transform our infrastructure systems for resilience against today's natural disasters and adapt to #ClimateChange.
FM Smt. @nsitharaman stressed on the danger of the development gains being undercut by increasing climate-induced risks to #infrastructure and the critical services it supports.
FM Smt. @nsitharaman said that over the years, India has ensured resilient #EconomicGrowth by not only investing in hard infrastructure, but also in building institutional capacity through creating National-and State-level Disaster Management Agencies. She said that during Cyclone Amphan in 2020, India evacuated over 2.4 million people in a coordinated manner, minimising loss of life.
Reassuring India's commitment in sharing best practices during this resilience-building journey, the Union Finance Minister extended assistance to Global South towards shared challenges and said that under #G20India Presidency a Disaster Risk Reduction Working Group was created to increase commitment to disaster and climate-resilient infrastructure and to prioritize stronger national financial frameworks for disaster risk reduction.
FM Smt. @nsitharaman said that India is looking forward to partnering with Africa and other developing countries to strengthen their #resilience of #infrastructure.
