Climate Resilience

The United Nations has identified climate resilience as a key feature of sustainable development, but there are no standardized, quantifiable measures of human climate resilience. The Climate Resilience Measurement Lab is developing a standardized survey-based tool to measure climate resilience and adaptation for integration into large-scale surveys in low- and middle-income countries. This longitudinal study is following households in Bangladesh to identify which variables predict human well-being trajectories following flooding and extreme heat.
