Regional trade cannot depend only on infrastructure capacity. It also needs resilience.

Climate, infrastructure & the continuity of regional trade

Regional trade cannot depend only on infrastructure capacity. It also needs resilience.

Climate-related disruption can travel along a corridor — from the port to the border, the warehouse and the balance sheet. Resilience therefore connects climate, infrastructure, insurance, banking, logistics, government and business continuity.

Where corridor disruption is felt

  • Ports
  • Shipping
  • Lakes
  • Railways
  • Roads
  • Air transport
  • Warehousing
  • Border crossings
  • Supply chains
  • Insurance
  • Trade finance
  • Regional commerce

Climate & infrastructure

Seven disciplines, one resilience agenda

Resilience is not one sector’s job. It is where climate, infrastructure, insurance, banking, logistics, government and business meet.

2026 Case study

El Niño & the Resilience of East African and Great Lakes Corridors

Climate variability such as El Niño has, in past cycles, been linked to heavy rainfall and flooding in parts of East Africa and to drier conditions elsewhere. The 2026 case study asks what that variability means for the ports, lakes, railways, roads, border crossings, insurers and financiers that keep regional trade moving.

A strategic case study within the Resilient Corridors agenda — not the overall identity of the Forum.
