This approach examines the contribution of adaptation initiatives in keeping development on track (Brooks et al., In doing so, it uses bottom-up county-level indicators to assess the level of integration and capacity of climate risk management processes. At the same time, resilience outcomes and development performance are assessed using top-down national level indicators (see Chapter 4). Instead, developed countries commonly outline how the broader objective of reduced climate vulnerability and enhanced resilience may be achieved (Casado-Asensio and Steurer, 2013).
