New UNFPA projections predict calamitous impact on women’s health as COVID-19 pandemic continues
28 April 2020A Framework for the Assessment of Population Risk and Resilience to Climate Change
Resource date: 20 April 2016
Building on the INFORM framework and index, UNFPA developed a Population Risk and Resilience Assessment Framework, and a tool (DECA) to consolidate information essential for building resilience and sustainability in communities, and particularly among women and girls. The framework aligns UNFPA’s targeted vulnerable population with disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation, and complements INFORM by adding a demographic perspective. This approach has been applied in a range of countries, including Malawi and Indonesia.
