The IPCC highlights climate resilience as key for regions to absorb, anticipate, accommodate or recover from the effects of a hazardous event, clearly communicating the potential of resilience to better withstand climate hazards and reduce their impacts. While individual adaptation measures focus on decreasing the risk related to a specific hazard to a defined object, resilience frameworks and their suggested areas tackle general regional structures, enhancing the region’s ability to withhold any kind of shock – also in the future. In recent years, multiple resilience assessment tools and scorecards have been developed, many of which rely heavily on local stakeholder input and participatory processes. However, objective and quantitative climate resilience indicators remain relatively rare.

Within this section we encourage contributions to present their resilience assessment approaches, both qualitatively and quantitatively, their processes and findings. As well as their interactive formats to engage with local stakeholders and ensure a common understanding of resilience, it’s strengths and potential weaknesses.
