Measuring resilience

More than $200 billion is needed annually for adaptation and resilience investments in water and energy systems, agriculture improvements and early-warning systems. This is set to rise if the 1.5 degree Celsius threshold is breached.

Climate adaptation encompasses many approaches. In some cases, adaptation takes the form of physical structures that can be seen and touched, such as constructing flood control infrastructure like dams and weirs

Resilience is the capacity to prepare for disruptions, recover from shocks, and grow from a disruptive experience. The World Bank Group has developed a Resilience Rating System that provides guidance and specific criteria to assess resilience along two

While previous studies provide significant contribution to modelling fire propagation, a much more comprehensive model is required, which would encompass all the key variables associated with ‘wildland–urban interface’ (WUI) fires. This paper aims at

Wildfire intensity and occurrence rate have risen alarmingly in recent years. Recent wildland urban interface fires have demonstrated the unrelenting destructive nature of these events and have called for an urgent need to address the problem. The

Research has found that the poorest people least responsible for rising CO2 emissions are often the most exposed to climate risk.

This paper focuses on the effects of climate change and natural hazards as they cause economic losses that threaten development and long-term growth.

The Flood Resilience Measurement for Communities (FRMC) was created by Zurich Insurance in 2013 and is an innovation in community flood resilience theory and practice. It allows users to generate evidence about the ways in which a given area or community

Community resilience is often assessed in disaster risk management (DRM) research and it has been argued that it should be strengthened for more robust DRM. However, the term community is seldom precisely defined and it can be understood in many ways. It

This is the User Guide showing  the necessary steps to deploy the post-flood study in the Flood Resilience Measurement for Communities (FRMC). This document is not meant to be used in the field directly with communities or to provide field workers with
