Resilient Planet Data Hub was convened by the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), the Insurance Development Forum (IDF) and the University of Oxford. Born from the Global Resilience Index Initiative (GRII), it addresses a critical information gap by delivering open, standardised metrics for climate and environmental risk.
Its main focus centres on developing a “common language of risk” to support resilience policy, decision‑making and capital allocation. The Hub builds tools such as the Global Resilience Index (GRI) Risk Viewer, enabling users to compare hazard, exposure and vulnerability metrics for people, planet and prosperity across global and local scales.
The Hub’s structure extends into the Resilient Planet Finance Lab, an accelerator research and innovation programme at the University of Oxford. This Lab collaborates with financial institutions, governments and civil society to co‑develop use cases, scenario tools and data‑driven insights that guide investment in adaptation and nature‑based solutions.
The organisation relates strongly to sustainable finance. By offering open access, globally consistent data, the Hub underpins climate‑risk disclosure, stress‑testing, scenario analysis and adaptation planning—critical functions for responsible investment and integration of resilience into financial decisions.
The Hub’s practical offerings include the GRI Risk Viewer, case studies spanning sectors like sovereign governments, infrastructure and nature‑based solutions, and decision support tools such as risk‑benefit analysis for infrastructure adaptation and sovereign credit modelling.
As a cross‑sector initiative with funding support from Climate Arc, UK Research bodies, World Bank and others, Resilient Planet Data Hub aims to enhance resilience through transparent, open analytics that empower informed adaptation action globally.
