Description – The CRISTA (2.0) project supports the decision-makers in addressing the risk by informing the near real-time status of critical infrastructure and improving the community-level climate resilience through risk sensitization. It will scale-up the efforts of the pilot solution and build on its foundations to further enhance risk governance and community engagement for CI risk management. The innovation is designed to capture disintegrated data on service disruption and climate hazard impacts on the selected infrastructure. While the pilot solution was tested at municipal level, the scale-up project is proposed to be implemented at district level in Dhading district in central Nepal, aligning with the administrative structure of agencies for critical infrastructure management.
