ARISE Coastal resilience scorecard

The ARISE Coastal Resilience Scorecard is designed to be a global open-source, adaptive and catalytic enablement tool for end-users to access technical expertise, range of best practices and encyclopedic knowledge sets for coastal disaster risk reduction in a single platform. Coastal disaster risks are defined as both acute, extreme events as well as chronic physical conditions influenced by items such as geohazards and sea level rise in coastal zone settlements.

 City professionals and key stakeholders are encouraged to utilize this Scorecard to evaluate composite ‘readiness levels’ for the prevention, response and recovery periods of coastal disasters and chronic coastal stress conditions. The self-scoring outputs will serve as an input to developing viable coastal city resilience plans for the immediate and longer-term benefit. As end users evaluate their readiness levels against the considerations laid out in the Scorecard, they will identify both strengths and weaknesses in planning & implementation, in policy and finance prioritization, and in education and awareness.
