This paper outlines the case for including resilience in
the post-2015 development goals and explores the
characteristics of a resilient community. It takes
stock of existing proposals for including resilience in the
post-2015 framework, and makes recommendations for
practical options for targets and indicators based on
three scenarios: Embedding resilience in a poverty goal;
mainstreaming resilience in other sectoral goals; and a
standalone goal on resilience. Finally, areas for further
consideration in ensuring that resilience is taken up within
the post-2015 consultation process are outlined.
