Community Climate Resilience Self-Assessment Tool

Climate Resilience Capacity Building Program

The community climate resilience self-assessment tool will help communities assess their internal climate resilience capacity and provide insights into which opportunities offered through the Climate Resilience Capacity Building program will best meet their needs.

The assessment is based on the Climate Adaptation Competency Framework, part of the Adaptation Learning Network project funded by Natural Resources Canada: Building Regional Adaptation Capacity & Expertise (BRACE), The BC Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy, and Royal Roads University. The survey looks at five aspects of climate adaptation and asks communities to rank their capacity in aspects of each.

Instructions

To check a community’s general readiness or find specific gaps in competencies in climate resilience, communities are invited to use this self-assessment tool. For each aspect of climate resilience, individuals can gauge their community’s state of readiness by answering the question “My Community has/is …” and choosing the matching number score.
