ClimaTwin at the International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure Summit
BOSTON, MA, July 4, 2022 — ClimaTwin™, Climate Risk Analysis for Infrastructure Digital Twins™, is proud to participate in the International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure (ICSI) Summit on June 28, 2002, organized by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). The virtual summit centers around “…ways to drive the transformative change needed to deliver people-centered, sustainable, and resilient infrastructure that is fit for all our communities and the Earth.”
Recent reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highlight that the timeframe for addressing climate change is now, and mission critical over the next eight years. IPCC is an intergovernmental body of the United Nations responsible for advancing knowledge on human-induced climate change. As the frequency and severity of extreme weather increases as a result of climate change, engineering sustainable and resilient infrastructure is imperative.
During the International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure Summit, global experts, such as Richard Threlfall, Chair of the ICSI, and Ellen Lindsey Awuku, Vice President of International Falcon Movement-Socialist Education International, discuss a broad spectrum of topics — innovative finance, climate resilience and adaptation, and new guidance and standards for sustainable and resilient infrastructure. Further, ICSI presents plans and priorities to act on climate change, sustainability, and resilience.
ICSI Summit Program

Innovation Framework for Resilient Sustainable Infrastructure Projects
Published in a new report entitled “Pushing the Boundaries of Innovation in Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure,” the International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure released an innovation framework to promote resilient and sustainable infrastructure. Authored by Jerry Buckwalter of the ASCE, Edgar Westerhof of Arcadis, and Andrew O’Connell of the ASCE Foundation, the new report highlights innovative solutions for climate adaptation, climate mitigation, and development strategies.
The purpose of the effort is to “…explore, research, highlight, and support innovative sustainable and resilient practices and solutions from around the world…” — discovering local innovations, learning from successes and failures, and replicating key elements. A global evaluation team ranked the infrastructure projects, referred to as ICSI Innovation Champions, based on criteria around ASCE’s future trends and forecasting research project and by selected global experts.
Assessment criteria for infrastructure systems, facilities, or assets included: 1. sustainability: the ability to meet and address the needs of the present and future society in parallel; 2. resilience: the capacity for individuals, communities, and systems to prepare for, adapt to, withstand, and recover from changing conditions, stress, and disruptions; and, 3. innovation: the process of utilizing new technologies, techniques, practices, approaches, and materials to address a known problem.
