ND-GAIN’s mission is to enhance the world’s understanding of the importance of adaptation and facilitate public and private investments in vulnerable communities.
ND-GAIN prepares the world’s leading Index showing which countries are best prepared to deal with global changes brought about by overcrowding, resource-constraints and climate disruption. The Index defines vulnerability as exposure and sensitivity to climate, population, infrastructure and resource stress, as well as the country’s adaptive capacity to those stresses. Vulnerability includes variables for climate risks, adaptive capacity, exposure and sensitivity.
ND-Gain is a part of Environmental change initiative of the University of Notre Dame.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
