Resilience Consortium

We accelerate collective action to better anticipate, prepare for and respond to future disruptions

A rapidly evolving risk landscape — from climate pressures and technological disruption to geopolitical instability and economic volatility — continues to underscore the capacity of external shocks to reshape economies and societies. As these shocks grow in frequency and complexity, strengthening resilience has become a global imperative to securing sustainable and inclusive growth.

The Resilience Consortium brings together companies, governments, and multilateral development banks (MDBs) to advance a shared understanding of resilience and to strengthen the capabilities needed to withstand and adapt to disruption. It offers business and public-sector leaders a unique platform to collaborate on a global effort to build an integrated approach to resilience management and unlock long-term growth.

Establish a common resilience framework

Develop a standardized resilience framework for public and private sectors to achieve sustainable and inclusive growth. This foundation strengthens institutional capabilities and builds the basis needed to address future challenges.

Share best practices

Promote best practices and leadership within the public and private sectors to drive change. Embrace risk and resilience to transition from short-term, reactive responses to long-term value creation.

Develop shared understanding

Advance a shared understanding of resilience drivers through a prioritized agenda. Align public- and private-sector efforts while supporting current initiatives within the broader resilience framework.

Build partnerships

Foster public-private partnerships to create resilient societies and economies. Prioritize investments and scale solutions that mitigate risks and drive sustainable, inclusive growth.
