Sustainability-Driven Risk Management in Infrastructure Projects
Sustainability-Driven Risk Management in Infrastructure Projects addresses need to integrate sustainability into risk management practices for infrastructure development. It emphasizes the importance of embedding environmental, social, governance (ESG), and resilience considerations early in project planning and decision-making processes, rather than treating them as late-stage add-ons.
The book is structured into five parts, each addressing key aspects of sustainability-driven risk management. Part I establishes foundational concepts and defines the approach. Part II maps the sustainability risk landscape, exploring stakeholders, governance, and risk processes. Part III rethinks project success, demonstrating practical applications of sustainability-driven risk management. Part IV introduces digital tools and advanced methods, such as option appraisal, design review, and resilience planning, to support infrastructure decisions. Part V examines barriers to adoption, enabling conditions, and future directions, culminating in an integrated framework for sustainable risk management. Throughout, strategically selected examples illustrate concepts, trade-offs, and sector-specific applications, ensuring relevance across diverse infrastructure contexts.
The book provides a key source of guidance for infrastructure practitioners seeking to achieve sustainable and resilient outcomes and is designed for advanced professionals and academics, including postgraduate students, doctoral researchers, and practitioners in infrastructure-related roles. It targets engineers, project managers, risk managers, and sustainability professionals, as well as consultants, financiers, and insurers involved in infrastructure projects. With its global perspective, the book is suitable for readers across regions, offering actionable insights for infrastructure owners, regulators, and policymakers navigating the challenges of climate resilience, ESG integration, and sustainable development.
