International Population Vulnerability and Resilience
International Population Vulnerability and Resilience
This collection of resources focuses on the interaction between communities’ demographic characteristics and the effects natural disasters have on people’s wellbeing. Focused internationally and at a subnational level (i.e., areas equivalent to states, counties, and townships), these resources provide quality analyses and data tools that can be used to build and improve adaptation policies.
This project applies principles from the U.S. Community Resilience Estimates Program internationally and is funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development.
