Active since 2006, the program's estimated completion is December 2011. •Climate change impacts will increase over time. Through its policies on Vulnerability to climate change, can be analysed based on three main approaches namely: the socioeconomic approach, the biophysical approach (impact assessment) and the integrated approach (Opiyo, 2014). •Climate change includes major changes in temperature, precipitation, wind patterns, and extreme events, that occur over several decades or longer. While much is known about the effects of climate change at a global scale, the ability to analyze effects and vulnerabilities at the . Figure 1: Projected increases in peak daily precipitation in the wet season for the Lower Mekong Basin. The Ramsar Convention was signed in 1971 to create an institution and guidance to facilitate the Climate change vulnerability is defined as the propensity to be adversely affected by climate change (IPCC 2014). This major report, published as FAO Fisheries and . These greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide (CO2 ), methane (CH 4 ) and nitrogen dioxide (N2 Gender dimensions of climate change adaptation 19 5.1 Mainstreaming gender into adaptation projects 21 5.2 Gender analysis 24 6. We review these potential changes in Chapter 1, which is used as a basis for the species vulnerability assessment presented Assessing species' vulnerability to climate change is a prerequisite for developing effective strategies to conserve them. Under the influence of climate change, mountains are likely to experience wide ranging effects on the environment, natural resources including biodiversity, and socioeconomic conditions. By contrast, higher adaptive capacity helps reduce the effects of exposure and sensitivity, and in turn reduces vulnerability (bottom). We know from the Third Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC 2001) that over the Social Vulnerability to Climate Change and Extremes in Coastal Vietnam W. NEIL ADGER * University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK Summary. In 2008, Metro Vancouver and Engineers Canada cooperated in the Vancouver Sewerage Area (VSA) vulnerability assessment. These conditions have already led to significant land degradation, which results in greater vulnerability to climate-related natural hazards, including wildfires, epidemics, floods, and droughts. As climate change continues to exert increasing pressure upon the livelihoods and agricultural sector of many developing and developed nations, a need exists to understand and prioritise at the sub national scale which areas and communities are most vulnerable. KIRIBATI: CLIMATE CHANGE AND MIGRATION . Little is known in detail about the vulnerability of mountain ecosystems to climate change. - Over 400 million people will be living in at least 17 water-scarce African countries by the year 2010. a changing climate will need to be tailored to local needs. vulnerability, human mobility and climate change in the Pacific. It encompasses a variety of concepts and elements including sensitivity or susceptibility to harm and lack of capacity to cope with and adapt to future changes (IPCC 2014)39. Assessing vulnerability to climate change requires knowledge of possible changes in temperature, precipitation, and vegetation. 37 Full PDFs related to this paper. 2007). Vulnerability assessments, like other climate change assessments, specifically work to recognize, evaluate, and communicate the uncertainties associated with climate change within a system or area of interest. Here, we proposed an assessment method based on the IPCC definition of vulnerability. The exposure to future climate was characterized using a moisture index (MI) that integrates the effects of temperature and precipitation. Sudan's vulnerability to climate change, identified the water, agriculture, costal zone and health sectors as the most vulnerable.

Additional support for this work was provided by the World Bank. To do so, this briefing considers people's vulnerability to climate change, which takes into account how poor they may be but also considers whether the societal and governance structures where they live can help them to mitigate the impacts of climate The UNDP has developed a participatory community based tool for the assessment of the vulnerability reduction (VRA).1 It is designed and devised to measure the changing 1 UNDP Working Paper (December 2008): A Guide to the Vulnerability . Often, climate change is likely to affect the District. Vulnerability assessment for climate change in specific coastal regions considers three factors: 1) the nature and magnitude of climate variability and change; 2) the human, capital, and natural assets that will be exposed to and impacted by climate change; and 3) the current capacity of coastal communities and Vulnerability to climate change is expressed as a function of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. An early conceptualisation of climate change vulnerability focuses on an evaluation of climate impacts on society and nature, and how these impacts could be offset by adaptation actions (Füssel & Klein 2006). This Paper. The CCVI bases its determination of vulnerability to climate change on two main components: exposure to future projected climate change and sensitivity to climate change, and scores various factors related to each of these (Table 1).
