The multi-criteria concept of well-being has been increasingly employed as a structured framework for measuring social progress in many areas of public policy  including climate and health  and, to a lesser extent, in other areas of the climate change adaptation literature . Well- being reflects the ability of a person to pursue and realise the goals that they value . The disaster risk management community employs well-being to evaluate mental health impacts in terms of peoples' abilities to cope with trauma and loss because of natural disasters . The term appears in the literature with concepts such as human security , subjective well-being or happiness , welfare  and living standards or quality of life .
