Lack of Resilience Index:Lack of Resilience represents the combination of susceptibility to impact and the relative inability to absorb, respond to, and recover from negative impactsthat do occur over the short term. Colombia ranks 71 out of 165 on the Lack of Resilience index with a score of 0.45. Costa Rica ranks 120 out of 165 on theLack of Resilience index with a score of 0.32. Honduras ranks 49 out of 165 on the Lack of Resilience index with a score of 0.52. Nicaragua ranks 64 out of165 on the Lack of Resilience index with a score of 0.47.
Colombia ranks 71 out of 165 on the Lack of Resilience Index. Based on the sub-component scores related to Vulnerability and Coping Capacity, the threethematic areas with the weakest relative scores are Conflict Impacts, Governance and Recent Disaster Impacts.
Costa Rica ranks 120 out of 165 on the Lack of Resilience Index. Based on the sub-component scores related to Vulnerability and Coping Capacity, the threethematic areas with the weakest relative scores are Population Pressures, Infrastructure and Environmental Capacity.
