UNEP estimate that infrastructure is responsible for 79% of all greenhouse gas emissions.
Our climate is changing.
Higher temperatures, rising sea levels, and more frequent severe weather patterns all expose vulnerabilities in our infrastructure systems. AI and autonomy will disrupt how we design, build and operate critical infrastructure. And the urgent technical, social and physical changes needed to successfully decarbonise industry pose a significant threat to people’s safety.
Lloyd’s Register Foundation’s mission is to ensure that critical infrastructure is adapted to be resilient, safe and sustainable for years to come. Working with partners to ensure we maximise the benefits of emerging technologies, and putting the safety of people at the heart of advances in big data.
Our work is helping decarbonise maritime trade and generate clean energy from the oceans, whilst championing whole systems thinking throughout the engineering sector.

Safer sustainable infrastructure
Critical infrastructure is under increasing pressure from ageing systems, climate impacts, and accelerating technological change. Lloyd’s Register Foundation works with global partners to strengthen safety, reliability, and resilience by supporting evidence‑based solutions that protect the people who design, operate, and depend on these essential systems.
Jan Przydatek Director of Technologies
Focusing on the increasing deployment of cyber-physical systems, the scaling of sustainable assets and the adaptation of infrastructures to the effects of climate change, our strategy targets safer outcomes for all.
