[1][2] It is also described as a systematic tool to rapidly assess climate change risk.
[3] These mapping methods can be used to examine vulnerability at both a regional and local level to understand the relevant elements.
People, infrastructure, and/or ecological resources are more likely to suffer harm in areas that are more sensitive to climate change as temperatures rise, floods get worse, and high winds get stronger.
[4] Climate vulnerability includes a number of aspects such as physical exposure, sensitivity to injury, and a lack of coping and adaptability skills.
[5] Understanding vulnerability enables us to make choices about the distribution of resources, the formulation of policies, and the prioritizing, siting, and design of projects.
