Chair: Marie COLIN, TC 1.4 member, France, and Rade HAJDIN, TC 3.3 member, Switzerland
Room: Club E, 1st floor
Resilience has been defined as "the ability of a system or systems to survive and thrive in the face of a complex, uncertain and ever-changing future" and this definition serves as the basis for the workshop.
On the one hand, the workshop addressed the uncertain and ever-changing future that is largely, but not exclusively, influenced by climate change. Aspects of resilience and the possibilities of integrating resilience into asset management were discussed. On the other hand, the workshop presented - on the basis of case studies - both preventive and remedial interventions that can effectively improve resilience. Furthermore, the relationship between risk and resilience approaches was discussed with a focus on the temporal dimension that characterises the resilience approach. TC 1.4 "Climate Change" and TC 3.3 "Asset Management" contributed to this workshop.
This session included a presentation of issues such as risk and resilience, holistic approaches to climate change and other hazards and the importance of network and asset management in enhancing resilient infrastructure. A summary of the results of PIARC's TC 1.4 and TC 3.3 in relation to the areas identified concluded the session.
