Climate Vulnerability

Climate vulnerability refers to the susceptibility of a person, community, or ecosystem to the harmful effects of climate change. This includes increased risks from extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and changing weather patterns. Vulnerable groups may lack the resources to adapt, such as financial means, infrastructure, or knowledge about risks. Factors like poverty, location, and health also influence vulnerability. Understanding climate vulnerability helps identify who may be most affected by climate change, guiding efforts to provide support and build resilience.
