Climate change adaptation: a pragmatic approach for assessing vulnerability

A Health Impact Assessment Framework for Assessing Vulnerability and Adaptation Planning for Climate Change

This paper presents a detailed description of an approach designed to investigate the application of the Health Impact Assessment (HIA) framework to assess the potential health impacts of climate change. A HIA framework has been combined with key climate change terminology and concepts. The fundamental premise of this framework is an understanding of the interactions between people, the environ...

VULNERABILITY TO CLIMATE CHANGE A Quantitative Approach

Climate change vulnerability for species-Assessing the assessments.

Climate change vulnerability assessments are commonly used to identify species at risk from global climate change, but the wide range of methodologies available makes it difficult for end users, such as conservation practitioners or policymakers, to decide which method to use as a basis for decision-making. In this study, we evaluate whether different assessments consistently assign species to ...

Here, we compare the outputs of 12 such climate 26 change vulnerability ass...

An Approach for Assessing Human Health Vulnerability and Public Health Interventions to Adapt to Climate Change

Assessments of the potential human health impacts of climate change are needed to inform the development of adaptation strategies, policies, and measures to lessen projected adverse impacts. We developed methods for country-level assessments to help policy makers make evidence-based decisions to increase resilience to current and future climates, and to provide information for national communic...
