Building disaster- and climate-resilient infrastructure through public–private partnerships

Brief

To address a knowledge gap surrounding the benefits that PPPs can offer for infrastructure development in Southeast Asia, this brief outlines existing disaster and climate frameworks in the region, identifies key entry points for enhancing the disaster and climate resilience of infrastructure built through PPPs, and provides an overview of relevant Australian frameworks, practical PPP examples and global good practices. The brief was developed through a comprehensive literature review of publicly available reports and an analysis of Partnerships for Infrastructure (P4I) initiatives and lessons learned.

Partnerships for Infrastructure (P4I)

Even before COVID-19, Southeast Asia needed an estimated USD210 billion of infrastructure investment each year to maintain growth momentum, tackle poverty and respond to climate change. The pandemic has highlighted new infrastructure challenges and increased pressure on governments to more effectively target spending.

Through P4I, Australia is partnering with the region to respond to these challenges and drive inclusive, sustainable growth.
