Measuring adaptation and resilience: An annotated bibliography

A wealth of measurement ideas, tools and metrics have emerged in the past two decades to understand and track progress on adaptation and resilience. This annotated bibliography by ODI and CASA presents a range of important references in the field, to inform negotiators and technical advisors involved with developing the framework for the Global Goal on Adaptation in the Paris Agreement, as part of UNFCCC processes, but may also be a useful resource to climate practitioners more broadly.
