The chapter examines the green dimension of the European Union Resilience Dashboards, comparing it with established global indices that assess countries’ preparedness and adaptability to climate change. Using a data-driven approach, this study evaluates the environmental resilience of EU member states by analyzing their performance in sustainability-focused indices such as the Environmental Performance Index, Notre Dame Global Adaptation Initiative, and the Green Growth Index. Key findings reveal a strong positive correlation (r = 0.74) between the Green Capacities Index and the socio-economic dimension, suggesting that improvements in green capacities, such as investments in renewable energy, can yield socio-economic benefits like job creation and economic stability. There is also a notable negative correlation (r = − 0.63) between green capacities and socio-economic vulnerabilities, indicating that strengthening green capacities reduces vulnerabilities, particularly in sectors like agriculture and energy. Further analysis shows a positive correlation between green and digital capacities (r = 0.59), highlighting the role of digital solutions in promoting sustainability. The study also explores the relationship between the Green Capacities Index and the INFORM Climate Change Risk Index, finding minimal direct correlation, though both indices address environmental challenges from different perspectives. The Environmental Performance Index and its sub-dimensions show moderate to strong correlations with green capacities, emphasizing the interdependence of environmental policies and climate resilience. Additionally, the Green Growth Index demonstrates a significant correlation with green capacities, underlining the importance of integrating green economy growth with environmental sustainability efforts. The findings suggest that countries with effective environmental policies exhibit stronger resilience and capacities in the green sector, with synergies across economic and environmental dimensions.
