Resilience First and the International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure (ICSI) are pleased to announce a new strategic partnership.
The partnership will enable the two organisations to collaborate through joint thought leadership, knowledge sharing, and convening. This partnership builds on an existing collaborative relationship between the two organisations, which have worked closely for many years, including as part of the Resilience Rising network.
Talking about the new partnership, Rick Cudworth, Executive Director of Resilience First, said, “I am delighted to announce an important new Partnership between Resilience First and ICSI. Both organisations share a mission to build the resilience of the systems we all rely on and bring communities of practice together to achieve this. ICSI has a strong track record of convening and collaborating within the engineering and disaster risk and recovery communities. Alongside Resilience First’s extensive network of private sector organisations, our Partnership will scale and accelerate the work to build the resilience of organisations, systems and societies.”
Savina Carluccio, Executive Director of ICSI, underlined the potential of this strategic partnership in her statement: “I am thrilled about this strategic partnership with Resilience First. Their vast network of businesses provides invaluable access to the private sector in the built environment and beyond. We look forward to collaborating on advancing thought leadership in climate resilience and adaptation.”
By fostering collaboration through knowledge sharing, and working with our members and strategic partners, Resilience First aims to strengthen the resilience of its members, the sectors within which they operate, and contribute to the overall resilience of society.
Resilience First and ICSI will collaborate on a series of external engagements including COP29, and bring their respective partners together to elevate resilience knowledge within their networks and operations.
