Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment

A Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment is a way to identify which communities, ecosystems, or systems are most at risk from the impacts of climate change, such as extreme weather, rising sea levels, or drought. It considers factors like exposure to climate hazards, sensitivity of the area or community, and their capacity to adapt or respond. The goal is to understand vulnerabilities so that appropriate actions or policies can be developed to reduce risks, protect resources, and build resilience against future climate-related challenges.
