ORIS invites you to their event

Climate Events and Infrastructure Resilience: How to Move from Climate Projection to Adaptation Measures?

About this event

With insights from the Yaoundé Bypass project - MINDHU's resilience project in Cameroon with the EIB


Climate screening has become standard practice for transport infrastructure projects.

Yet most assessments stop at identifying risks: flooding probabilities, temperature extremes, precipitation changes.

The critical gap remains: how do you translate climate projections into actionable technical specifications that engineers can actually implement?

Join us for a technical deep-dive into the methodology behind the Yaoundé Bypass resilience assessment in Cameroon, led by experts from the European Investment Bank, the Global Center on Adaptation, and ORIS Materials Intelligence. This webinar demonstrates how to automate the process from climate hazard identification to specific adaptation measures – including nature-based solutions – within infrastructure project design.

What You'll Learn

  • How multilateral development banks approach climate finance attribution and resilience requirements for transport infrastructure
  • The role of nature-based solutions in infrastructure adaptation strategies, with quantification frameworks from recent GCA research
  • Technical methodology for automating climate risk assessment and generating project-specific adaptation measures
  • Real-world application: lessons from the EIB's Yaoundé Bypass project in Cameroon

Who Should Attend

  • Climate finance specialists at multilateral development banks
  • Infrastructure engineers working on resilience assessments
  • Sustainability managers at engineering consultancies
  • Government officials overseeing climate-resilient infrastructure planning
  • Project managers conducting Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessments (CRVA)
