Adaptation and Resilience Readiness Data

The Country Adaptation and Resilience (A&R) Readiness Assessment provides a whole-of-economy framework to evaluate a country’s progress in A&R actions and capacity development, identify gaps, and support design of effective A&R policies and strategies. The assessment follows the approach developed in the World Bank’s Adaptation Principles, a framework that reflects universal principles for effective climate change adaptation and building resilience that are relevant for all countries. The framework is organized around six pillars, each supported by respective priority actions and detailed indicators.The A&R readiness assessment has been applied to over 45 countries using an indicator-based diagnostic and scoring approach and has been a key input to several of the World Bank Group’s Country Climate and Development Reports (CCDRs) and featured in the World Bank's Rising to the Challenge report.
