Скачать или смотреть What the World Needs Now: Resilient Infrastructure | ADSW Summit Panel

At Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2026, the panel argues that resilient infrastructure is now a system-level imperative as electricity demand accelerates and climate, cyber, and supply-chain risks converge. Speakers stress that resilience must be designed into energy systems from the outset, embedded in planning, regulation, and operations rather than treated as a retrofit. Ditte Juul Jørgensen notes that electrification is making system management more complex, requiring flexibility, storage, and coordinated investment, while Jasim Husain Thabet emphasizes resilience “by design” across generation, networks, and water systems to maintain reliability and affordability as demand rises. Together, the panel frames resilient infrastructure as an integrated outcome shaped by policy clarity, technology, and collaboration across borders and sectors.

Key takeaways:

· Resilient infrastructure must be built into systems from the start, not added after disruption occurs.
· Rising electricity demand makes flexibility, efficiency, and coordination essential to reliability.
· Clear regulation and long-term planning are critical to strengthening energy security at scale.
