SMEDA Climate Resilience Framework

Climate Change Vulnerability Index (CCVI)

Self-diagnostic assessment tool developed under the SMEDA Green SME Initiative. Evaluate your enterprise’s physical exposure to floods, heatwaves, and resource stress, and measure your internal adaptation readiness.

Framework Formula:Vulnerability = Exposure & Hazards (100%) - Adaptive Readiness (100%)

Climate Hazards & Physical Exposure

Rate the frequency and potential operational disruption of these climate events

Monsoon Flooding & Urban Inundation
Risk of standing water damaging inventory, machinery, or raw materials
Extreme Summer Heatwaves (>45°C)
Shop-floor heat stress, worker productivity loss, and cooling equipment failure
Groundwater Depletion & Water Scarcity
Reliability of processing water, industrial bore-hole drawdown, or municipal rationing
Weather-Induced Power Tripping / Grid Shedding
High ambient temperature transformer burnouts, wind-storm feeder trips
Agricultural / Raw Material Supply Shocks
Cotton, grain, or livestock shortages due to crop damage or pest epidemics
Highway / Bridge Flood Blockages & Transport Delays
Disruption in transporting finished goods to Karachi ports or regional distribution hubs

Vulnerability Index

Composite diagnostic score out of 100

49/100
Moderate Vulnerability (Elevated Risk)

Your enterprise faces meaningful climate exposure. Gaps in renewable power backup, insurance, or supply redundancy could cause severe disruptions during peak weather events.

Hazard Exposure Index44%
Higher score implies greater physical risk
Adaptive Capacity Index28%
Higher score indicates superior resilience
