Community resilience to natural hazards and climate change impacts: a review of definitions and operational frameworks

The paper argues that effective disaster resilience frameworks must integrate sustainable development, disaster risk reduction, and community engagement, while treating resilience building as a process rather than just a set of outcomes to allow for monitoring and evaluation.

• The authors argue that for a disaster resilience framework to be comprehensive and effective, it must integrate three core components: community engagement, disaster risk reduction, and fundamental elements of sustainable development.
• The paper asserts that resilience frameworks should move beyond defining specific outcomes to describing the actual process of identifying initial resilience status and establishing goals, which is necessary for the monitoring and evaluation of progress.
