Measuring climate resilience: examples from Belgium & Uganda

Monitoring progress on climate resilience and/or climate adaptation action is not straightforward. Targets and related indicators are typically not set in quantitative terms. In this presentation, examples are provided on the quantification of climate adaptation targets and impact assessment at local scale in urban and rural setting. Examples from Belgium and Uganda are presented. For the Flanders region, Belgium, an adaptation scoreboard tool is developed which allows to assess the impact of implementations at local level (e.g. the implementation of a nature-based solution). Also, as part of the water-land-scape coalitions, which aim at climate resilient landscapes, quantitative targets have been set in co-creation on how to achieve climate resilience. Finally, an example is presented on how to measure climate resilience in a refugee camp in Uganda, based on a household survey. The Uganda examples focuses on the access to water and land as indicators for climate resilience.
