The Resilience4Ports (R4P) Indicators provide a structured, evidence-based framework for assessing and strengthening the climate and disaster resilience of ports.
Developed by CDRI and ICSI with input from a global Community of Practice, and piloted in ports across Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America, R4P covers five headline areas: Assets & Operations, Governance & Institutions, Finance & Investments, People & Communities, and Coastal/Marine/Ecological systems. Each area includes qualitative indicators and supporting quantitative metrics to holistically evaluate resilience capabilities, ranging from risk-informed asset management to community engagement and ecosystem protection.
The framework is designed to guide ports of all types in identifying strengths, recognizing gaps, and tracking improvements. Piloted globally, it supports self-assessment, facilitates strategic planning, and aligns with global frameworks like the SDGs and Paris Agreement, helping ports demonstrate measurable progress and continuous improvement.
