| Summary: | Resilient economic infrastructure plays
an increasingly significant role in mitigating natural
disaster risks, including hydrometeorological and
geophysical hazards, especially in the contexts of climate
variability and change. Building on the theoretical
approaches to the key challenges in resilient infrastructure
public-private partnerships (PPPs) outlined by
Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF), the
World Bank's Global Infrastructure Facility (GIF) and
the Tokyo Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Hub have initiated
a knowledge project on "Resilient Infrastructure
PPPs—Contracts and Procurement" to harness the
knowledge and expertise gained from PPP projects in selected
countries to help the governments of low- and middle-income
countries to prepare and structure disaster-resilient
infrastructure PPPs. This report presents a case study of
infrastructure PPP projects in Japan under the knowledge
development component. Japan is highly exposed to natural
disaster risks ranging from earthquake, tsunami, cyclone,
floods, and landslides to volcanic eruptions. Japan's
experience in structuring resilient infrastructure PPPs
offers policy recommendations and insights on how disaster
and climate risks can be managed under PPPs. |
