认识到由于气候变化的影响和可变性以及快速增长的城市发展，亚洲沿海城市的脆弱性日益增加，本研究侧重于气候灾害抗御能力，以便使用气候灾害抗御能力指数衡量目标地区现有的气候灾害抗御能力水平。该指数是根据五个基于生态系统的维度制定的：自然、物质、社会、经济和体制。本研究的范围仅限于气候诱发的灾害，如气旋、洪水、热浪、干旱和暴雨诱发的滑坡。就每个城市而言，复原力信息分别以总体复原力和单独的物质、社会、经济和体制复原力的形式提出。更高的复原力值相当于更高的科普气候和灾害的准备程度，反之亦然。根据研究结果，作者提出了政策要点和建议，并鼓励城市政府参与具体的cist服务，机构和能力建设。这项研究的成果不仅对城市政府有用，而且还为具有类似目标的其他地方和国家利益攸关方提供了宝贵的知识和信息：增强社区复原力。
Recognizing the ever-increasing vulnerability of coastal urban cities in Asia due to climate change impacts and variability and also due to fast-growing urban development, this study focusing on climate disaster resilience is conducted in order to measure the existing level of climate disaster resilience of the targeted areas using a Climate Disaster Resilience Index. The index is developed based on five resilience-based dimensions: natural, physical, social, economic and institutional. The scope of this study is limited to climate-induced disasters, such as cyclone, flood, heat wave, drought and heavy rainfall induced landslide. For each individual city case, resilience information is presented as overall resilience, and separate physical, social, economic and institutional resilience. Higher values of resilience are equivalent to higher preparedness to cope with climate and disasters and inversely. Based on the results, policy points and recommendations are suggested by the authors and provide encouragement of city governments’ engagements in specific cist services, institution and capacity building. Not only are outputs from this study useful for city governments, but they also provide valuable knowledge and information to other local and national stakeholders having a similar target: the enhancement of community resilience.
