Q. Consider the following statements regarding the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI):
1.It aims to provide financial assistance to disaster-prone countries for rebuilding infrastructure.
2.It is a legally binding treaty among participating countries.
Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?
Answer: D
Notes:
Explanations –
Statements 1 and 2 are incorrect. The Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI) works as a platform for knowledge sharing, capacity building, policy advocacy, and fostering partnerships to promote disaster-resilient infrastructure. While it supports technical expertise and guidance, direct financial aid is not its primary mandate. The CDRI is not a legally binding treaty; it is a voluntary, multilateral partnership. Countries and organizations join the coalition voluntarily to collaborate on improving infrastructure resilience without any legal obligations.
