Individual-Measurement for Inclusive Climate Resilience
Around the world, climate hazards are increasing in intensity and frequency, undermining livelihoods, safety, and social and economic progress. But these hazards are felt unevenly. People experience climate impacts and resilience differently, shaped by gender, age, disability, and the intersection of these, as well as socioeconomic circumstances and geography.
In this context, data and measurement approaches play a central role in advancing inclusive climate resilience. Individual measurement provides a nuanced understanding of how people experience climate impacts and resilience, enabling the design of effective and targeted strategies that respond to varying needs, capacities, and circumstances.
This brief was developed as part of Revealing Resilience, an initiative that champions the use of inclusive data and measurement tools to strengthen gender equality, disability and social inclusion in climate resilience and sustainable development. Funded by the Australian Government through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), Revealing Resilience is led by the University of Technology Sydney-Institute for Sustainable Futures with the International Women’s Development Agency’s flagship program Equality Insights.
