From regional risk
to measurable resilience.

A living framework for understanding how ecosystems, infrastructure, communities and regional economies withstand disruption, recover and become stronger — supported by verifiable evidence and transparent performance indicators.

The proposition

Make resilience visible. Make progress measurable.

A region becomes more resilient when its underlying ecological, physical and socioeconomic systems can deliver essential functions under growing stress.

The Regional Resilience Register connects evidence about system condition and performance with risk exposure, interventions, monitoring and decision-relevant indicators. It supports comparable area profiles, transparent assumptions and a consistent record of change over time.

01 / BASELINE

Understand the system

Describe environmental conditions, assets, vulnerabilities, dependencies and the services on which people and economic activities depend.

02 / EVIDENCE

Track real outcomes

Connect measurements, methods, datasets and scientific sources to changes in ecosystem and infrastructure performance.

03 / DECISIONS

Support better capital allocation

Translate validated system improvements into risk, resilience and investment insights that can inform regional decisions.

Integrated register architecture

Four layers. One connected regional evidence system.

Designed to interoperate with the Regional Risk Register and the wider Return of Resilience framework family.

LAYER 01System conditionSoil, water, biodiversity, landscapes, assets
LAYER 02Stress and riskHazards, exposures, vulnerabilities, dependencies
LAYER 03Resilience effectsFunctional integrity, response, recovery and adaptation
LAYER 04Economic relevancePerformance, avoided losses, decision and investment evidence
Area-based applications

From evidence to regional insight.

Regional applications draw together distinct ecological, economic and governance contexts using interoperable methods.

Agricultural landscapes

Rivierenland

Soil–water–microbiome evidence, agricultural production, water resilience and regional economic performance.

Estuarine ecosystems

Wadden Sea–North Sea

Coastal ecological integrity, water quality, biodiversity, system dependencies and climate resilience.

Industrial regions

IJmond

Industrial transitions, regional exposure, water safety, ecological conditions and cross-sector interdependencies.
