Exploring an approach for monitoring the implementation of the European Union’s disaster resilience goals

This report aims to explore potential ideas of concept and architecture for the monitoring of the European Union’s Disaster Resilience Goals. The report focuses on three main areas: 1) the use of composite indicators approach for monitoring and review, 2) an exploration of potentially-relevant indicators for resilience within the context of the disaster resilience goals and 3) demonstration of the Disaster Risk Management Knowledge Centre (DRMKC) Risk Data Hub (RDH) as a data repository for the data reported and collected to facilitate interpretation via maps and dashboards.

This report was written during the drafting stage of the European Union’s Disaster Resilience Goals in 2021 and 2022. The Commission adopted the Recommendation on the Disaster Resilience Goals on the 8 February, 2023.
