Water Resilience Indicators for National Implementation

This Technical Note has been developed as a reference guide of different approaches that can be applied by practitioners working on water resilience indicator frameworks. Rather than offering a new set of indicators, it provides a resilience ‘lens’ that can be applied to existing material, enabling teams to learn about system behaviour, identify interpretive gaps, and construct honest, decision-relevant narratives.

The Note builds towards a concrete output: the National Resilience Snapshot. This is a short, policy-facing synthesis that converts indicator evidence into a small set of time-bound decisions, creating a routine moment for interpretation and course correction, aligned to national reporting cycles and policy windows.
