About the session

Advancing critical health infrastructure resilience thinking – insights from a literature study – Nathalie
Sänger, Project Associate; Christine Heinzel, Student Assistant, United Nations University – Institute for
Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS).

Session 5: Critical Infrastructure Interdependencies – from Risk to Resilience
It is the interoperability between independent critical national infrastructures that is the catalyst for multiple failures in the so called cascade effect. As more infrastructure becomes increasingly interdependent, how do we identify the weaknesses to enhance resilience across industries to prevent and/or mitigate the effects of a natural disaster or man-made attack?
