UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, C and E are correct, describing planning, social, ecological and analytical dimensions of urban resilience. Integrating risk into planning, using social protection, restoring ecosystems and conducting multi-hazard assessments all strengthen cities’ ability to cope with climate impacts. D is wrong because institutions and communities are central to resilience, and F is wrong as community participation improves relevance and ownership of plans. Therefore, A, B, C and E only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it omits E, thereby ignoring the importance of multi-hazard assessments in understanding combined risks. Without E, the analytical basis of resilience planning is not fully captured.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect as it includes only B, C and E and leaves out A, which is fundamental in stating that planning and infrastructure must integrate climate risk. Excluding A weakens the description of what makes a city climate-resilient.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect since it accepts F and omits B. Accepting F denies the value of community participation, while dropping B neglects the role of social protection for vulnerable groups.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it combines all the true statements and excludes D and F, which narrow resilience to physical assets and dismiss participation. It reflects the multi-dimensional approach to urban climate resilience emphasised in this unit.
