‘Resilience’ across the post-2015 frameworks: towards coherence?

This is an analysis of ‘resilience’ as it features in all of the four major post-2015 frameworks on development, climate, disasters and humanitarian issues.
• This includes the UNISDR Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the UNFCCC Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the World Humanitarian Summit.
• Resilience provides a useful umbrella under which to address the range of hazards and risks that a country or community might face.
• Coordinating actions taken to deliver against each framework can also help to avoid duplication, maximise gains and manage trade-offs between different risks and goals.
• Greater institutional incentives are needed to reinforce coherence on resilience across the agreements, particularly among UN agencies and national governments.
