Resilience and Adaptation Engineering
Applying AI-based predictive modelling, blockchain-secured data systems, and digital infrastructure to strengthen climate resilience and adaptation planning.
Pillar Overview
DTID develops digital infrastructure that strengthens resilience across critical systems, infrastructure, ecosystems, and communities. By applying artificial intelligence, blockchain, distributed ledger technologies, IoT, and secure data systems, we help governments and institutions improve planning, transparency, accountability, and long-term resilience through applied research, pilot programmes, and technical collaboration.
How We Do It
DTID advances resilience through applied research, digital innovation, technical advisory services, and international collaboration. We develop practical digital solutions that improve data integrity, strengthen decision-making, and support resilient systems across the public and private sectors.
Mission
"Strengthen resilience through trusted digital technologies, international standards, and practical implementation."
Key Outputs
Feasibility studies, pilot deployments, technical guidance, policy briefs, digital governance frameworks, and advisory support for governments and international organisations.
Core Areas of Work (DIV-04)

Project Spotlights
Blockchain-Based Monitoring Systems for Climate Adaptation Infrastructure in Bangladesh
In 2022, DTID, then operating as the Blockchain & Climate Institute (BCI), designed a blockchain-based monitoring system for climate-resilient shelters in Bangladesh. The project explored how distributed ledger technology could improve transparency, accountability, and oversight in public infrastructure programmes.
Key Features
- Real-time infrastructure monitoring
- Immutable procurement and project records
- Improved project oversight
- Greater transparency for governments, funders, and communities
Blockchain-Enabled Climate Catastrophe Insurance in Thailand
DTID, then operating as the Blockchain & Climate Institute (BCI), conducted a feasibility study examining blockchain-supported parametric insurance for disaster recovery in Thailand. The project evaluated how emerging digital technologies could improve transparency, accelerate payouts, and reduce operational risk.
Key Features
- Transparent rules-based insurance triggers
- Faster support following extreme weather events
- Reduced administrative delays
- Improved confidence in digital insurance mechanisms
