Climate resilience framework: Training materials

Series 3. Building Resilience

The Climate Resilience Framework is a conceptual framework for simplifying and analyzing complex relationships between people, systems, institutions and climate change. The framework helps clarify factors that need to be included in the diagnosis of climate vulnerability, structures the systematic analysis of vulnerability in ways that clearly identify the entry points for responding, and supports strategic planning to build resilience to climate change.

Series 3 of the Climate Resilience Framework: Training Materials addresses the right hand loop of the Climate Resilience Framework. It reviews the steps required to: 1) Identify Possible Resilience Actions, 2) Prioritize Actions, 3) Design Your Resilience Strategy, 4) Implement Actions, and 5) Monitor the Results of those Actions. The Series 3 materials do not address all of these steps in detail. The materials included are those that ISET has developed to supplement materials available elsewhere, fill gaps, or address topics in unique ways.
