Berlin, December 11, 2025 – How resilient is Germany? The Fraunhofer Institute for High-Speed- Dynamics EMI, as a member of the »Nationale Plattform zur Stärkung der Resilienz gegenüber Katastrophen« (National Resilience Platform) has analyzed and evaluated the implementation of the German Resilience Strategy (2022 – 2025). On December 11, a delegation from the Implementation Advisory Board presented the report to Parliamentary State Secretary Christoph de Vries from the Federal Ministry of the Interior.

Three years after the publication of the German Resilience Strategy, the National Resilience Platform evaluates the previous progress, existing deficits, and central needs for action in the report. The analysis is based on the five action fields of the strategy and also includes aspects of governance, financing, and progress measurement. The National Platform acknowledges significant progress while also highlighting areas where further action is needed.

A central statement from the report is that Germany’s ability to be prepared for crises, respond effectively during crises, and recover from them must be strengthened structurally, socially, and institutionally. Involved in the evaluation were, among others, the EMI resilience experts Daniel Hiller, Dr. Malte von Ramin, and Professor Alexander Stolz.

The National Resilience Platform reaffirmed its readiness to continue providing expert support to the federal government in the planned updating of the resilience strategy and to permanently establish resilience as a strategic cross-cutting issue.
