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. China ranks 82 out of 165 on the Lack of Resilience index with a score of 0.43. India ranks 39 out of 165 on the Lack ofResilience index with a score of 0.55.

China ranks 82 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 Environmental Capacity, Governance and Marginalization.

India ranks 39 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 Environmental Capacity, Info Access Vulnerability and Marginalization.
