 || **What Sustainable Development Goal is the indicator connected to? ** \\ Though there is no one single SDG indicator that maps on to this indicator, SDG **target 1.5** is closely related. Target 1.5 aims by 2030, to build the resilience of the poor and those in vulnerable situations and reduce their exposure and vulnerability to climate-related extreme events and other economic, social and environmental shocks and disasters. ​ || || **What Sustainable Development Goal is the indicator connected to? ** \\ Though there is no one single SDG indicator that maps on to this indicator, SDG **target 1.5** is closely related.

 || **Definitions and key terms** \\ Increasing resilience is an on-going process, not a final outcome that can be achieved within a specific time-frame. CARE’s approach for increasing resilience can be summarized as. \\ * Resilience is increased when A.) the capacities and assets to deal with various shocks, stresses, uncertainty and change are built and supported; and B.) the drivers of risk are reduced; and C.) when these actions are supported by an enabling environment. \\ * It is important that change takes place and be sustained in all three domains to achieve this impact. The following activities can be included when measuring the total number of people that have actively engaged in reducing their vulnerability to shocks and stresses, including their underlying drivers \\ Actions that aim to : \\  · **Reduce the likelihood of shocks arising in the first place, or limiting their severity.** This usually requires action and advocacy at a level beyond the community. At an international level, examples might be reducing carbon emissions to limit climate change, which requires global action, or brokering peace negotiations between warring factions through third party mediation. At the national level, examples might be controlling price fluctuations using buffer stocks or tariffs, regulating commodity speculation,​ or setting up early warning and weather forecast information. Issues that can be addressed at a more local level might include reforesting degraded landscapes, or adopting more tolerant crop varieties and animal breeds. \\ * · **Address the conditions that make people more exposed to those shocks and stresses**. This is more likely to be within communities’ sphere of influence (e.g. voluntary relocation, or building earthquake resistant housing), though will usually require action by others also (e.g. making alternative livelihood opportunities available). \\ * · **Reduce Vulnerability to particular risks.** This is addressed by increasing capacities and assets, in ways that do not exacerbate or drive new risks (e.g. new economic activities that do not result in deforestation,​ harmful land use change or social divisions). We break this down in: \\ ** o **anticipate** risks: foresee and therefore reduce the impact of hazards that are likely to occur and be ready for them when events are unexpected through prevention, preparedness and planning; ​ \\ ** o **absorb** shocks: accommodate the impact shocks and stresses have on their lives, well-being and livelihoods,​ by making changes in their usual practices and behaviors using available skills and resources, and manage adverse conditions: ​ \\ ** o **adapt** to evolving conditions: adjust their behaviors, practices, lifestyles and livelihood strategies to respond to changed circumstances and conditions under multiple, complex and at times changing risks; ​ \\ ** o **transform**:​ influence the enabling environment and drivers of risks to create individual and systemic changes on behaviors, market economics, and policies and legislation. ​ || || **Definitions and key terms** \\ Increasing resilience is an on-going process, not a final outcome that can be achieved within a specific time-frame.

-|| **Data and information required to measure the indicator** \\ Evidence is needed around both the measurable (quantitative) and intangible (qualitative) dimensions of resilience. ​ ||+|| **Data and information required to measure the indicator** \\ Evidence is needed around both the measurable (quantitative) and intangible (qualitative) dimensions of resilience.|| 
 +|**Examples of proxy indicators that projects have adopted, which contribute to global indicator 21** \\ * % households/​people applying positive coping strategies to reduce their vulnerability to shocks (e.g. use of own savings) \\ * % households/​people applying strategies promoted by the project to reduce vulnerability/​risk \\ * % households/​people carrying out actions included in local disaster risk reduction plans by their own means  \\ **Note:** projects can use other proxy indicators. These are examples of the ones most frequently used.||
