With the March2026 edition of NEF Brew, NEF continues its journey toward becoming a structured policy journal rooted in India’s long-term development priorities.

This edition focuses on an urgent national imperative, climate-resilient infrastructure in an increasingly risk-prone future. As climate variability intensifies and disasters grow more frequent, infrastructure can no longer be designed only for efficiency and expansion; it must now be planned for resilience, adaptability, and continuity.

From disaster-resilient urban planning and climate-proof public assets to risk-informed financing, sustainable materials, and resilient housing frameworks, the issue explores how infrastructure policy must evolve to safeguard both economic growth and human security.
