Abstract
Climate change poses significant challenges to global agricultural systems, necessitating the development of tools to assess and enhance climate resilience in agriculture. This study introduces a Climate-Resilient Agriculture (CRA) Index, developed using nine indicators across three dimensions: Agricultural Productivity and Resource Use Efficiency, Environmental Sustainability and Climate Impact, and Socioeconomic Resilience. The index was calculated for twelve countries from 2015 to 2021 using data from the World Bank. The countries were then benchmarked into four categories: Highly Resilient, Moderately Resilient, Low Resilience, and Very Low Resilience. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders aiming to improve agricultural resilience to climate change.
