Resilience of the project rates the confidence that expected investment outcomes will be achieved, based on whether a project has considered climate and disaster risks in its design, incorporated adaptation measures, and demonstrated economic viability despite climate risks. Resilience through the project rates a project’s contribution to adaptive development pathways based on whether investments are targeted at increasing climate resilience in the broader community or sector
The objectives of the Resilience Rating System are to: (a) Better inform decision makers, investors, and other stakeholders on the resilience of projects and investments; (b) Create incentives for more widespread and effective climate adaptation through enhanced transparency and simpler disclosure; (c) Identify best practices to allow proven lessons on resilience to be scaled up across sectors and countries; (d) Guide project developers on the best ways to manage risk and improve the quality of projects, while allowing flexibility for different sectoral and country contexts.
