Proposes two assessment levels: preliminary and detailed level.

Considers three dimensions: governance and financial capacity; planning and disaster preparation; disaster response and post-event recovery.

The Ten Essentials are: organize for resilience; identify, understand and use current and future risk scenarios; strengthen financial capacity for resilience; pursue resilient urban development; safeguard natural buffers to enhance strengthen the institutional capacity for resilience; strengthen the institutional capacity for resilience; understand and strengthen societal capacity for resilience; increase infrastructure resilience; ensure effective disaster response; expedite recovery and build back better.

Proposes reference values for the metrics.

Scores are not standardized.

Proposed metrics are available for public access.

Evaluates some NBS-specific aspects (not a NBS comprehensive assessment).

A specific Dimension or Essential focused on assessing the NBS contribution to urban resilience is not included.

Example of NBS-related proposed metric:

• ○ ‘Integration of green and blue infrastructure into city policy and projects (–)’ metric in the Safeguard Natural Buffers to Enhance the Protective Functions Offered by Natural Ecosystems Essential (Essential 05).

Focuses on climate change.

Focused on the water cycle, at the city, services, and infrastructure level.

Evaluates and identifies opportunities to improve the city's resilience.

Structured into objectives, criteria, and metrics.

Metrics assign a development level to each criterion, supporting the setup of clear targets and the monitoring of the results.

Proposes three assessment levels: essential, complementary, and comprehensive

Includes a city profile and a service profile.

Based on UNHABITAT resilience dimensions: organizational (focus on the city, governance relations, and stakeholders), spatial (focus on urban space and environment), functional (focus on the strategic services in the city), physical dimension (focus on the assets and infrastructures).

Allows comparing cities or the same city over time.

Integrates qualitative and quantitative metrics.

Proposes reference values for the metrics.

Assesses acute shocks and continuous events.

Evaluates some NBS-specific aspects (not a NBS comprehensive assessment).

A specific Objective or Criteria focused on assessing the NBS contribution to urban resilience is not included.

Some proposed metrics assess NBS aspects.

Example of NBS-related proposed metric:

• ○ ‘Availability of green and blue infrastructures (m²/inhabitant)’ metric in the provision of protective infrastructures and ecosystems Objective.

Focuses on sustainable development.

Proposes a set of metrics and targets for SDG 11.

Structured in SDG, targets, and indicators.

The SDG 11 is desegregated in seven target, which are detailed for the horizon year 2030, from the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

For every target, some metrics are proposed, without a clear definition of the metrics.

Does not allow for comparison between cities.

Does not provide a clear definition of the metrics.

Indicators do not provide a judgement of the results, a threshold, or a target numerical value.

Does not assess acute shocks and continuous events.

Does not evaluate any NBS aspect.

A specific Objective or Criteria focused on assessing the NBS contribution to urban resilience is not included.

Proposed metrics do not assess any NBS aspects.

Focused on sustainable development (natural disasters and manmade threats).

Provides a transversal diagnosis and pathway to resilience-based sustainable urban development.

Considers five critical and interdependent dimensions, common to all human settlements, namely, Spatial, Organizational, Physical, Functional, and Time abilities.

Data collection is divided into four SETs that, collectively, provide an in-depth picture of the city and its stakeholders and provide the basis of the Actions for Resilience.

There is no specific public information regarding the resilience assessment.

Assesses acute shocks and continuous events.

It was not possible to analyse the main key information.

Not possible to be analysed due to metrics definition is not public access.

Focuses on climate resilience.

Establishes a base for metrics needed for assessing resilience and its evolution.

Considers exposure, sensitivity, and response capacity of urban vulnerability, across sectors.

Indicators are structured around the following eight municipal management sectors: water, energy, transportation, people, economy, land use and land cover, natural environment, and telecommunications.

Includes qualitative and quantitative indicators, which are weighted depending on the resilience relevance.

Allows comparing the city's resilience over time.

Not allow comparing between cities.

The RAF does not provide a clear definition of the metrics.

Proposes qualitative and quantitative metrics.

Assesses acute shocks and continuous events.

Evaluates some NBS-specific aspects (not a NBS comprehensive assessment).
