This discussion paper suggests an approach to assess and monitor climate resilience on national level. It pursues this goal by developing a generic climate resilience framework and proposing two complementary assessment tools, which have yet to be field-tested. These tools may be used separately or in a combination, and can be flexibly adjusted to country-specific circumstances. The discussion paper mainly targets policy-makers and practitioners working in the field of climate change, disaster risk reduction and sustainable development. It therefore focusses on a pragmatic approach on how to assess climate resilience instead of entering into the scientific debate.
