Defining and Measuring Success When Planning for Resilience

The session will focus on the question of what “success” might mean when examining an organization’s resilience to climate impacts, and how one might define and measure it. Participants will be introduced to a framework for defining and evaluating success in resilience planning that has been developed by scientists, practitioners and stakeholders on the West Coast. Facilitated discussions will allow participants to exchange experiences from across geographies and scales of governance (local, regional, state, federal), while considering multiple interests that need to be integrated in resilience planning (e.g., economic growth, ecological integrity, cultural values, and community priorities).
