climate vulnerability assessments

Climate vulnerability assessments evaluate how exposed a community, environment, or system is to the risks posed by climate change, such as floods, storms, or droughts. They analyze factors like climate hazards, local sensitivity, and the capacity to adapt. The goal is to identify which areas or populations are most at risk and to inform strategies that reduce future impacts. Essentially, it’s a way to understand and measure how susceptible something is to climate-related problems, helping policymakers and communities prepare and strengthen resilience against changing climate conditions.
