It may be necessary to develop different formulas for different types of systems, such as terrestrial versus aquatic, Arctic, deserts, etc. Perform studies to verify effectiveness of these ecologic metrics in assessing vulnerability Integrate quantified levels of vulnerability into cumulative risk framework.
Participatory vulnerability assessments use qualitative techniques such as focus group discussion, semi-structured interviews, open-ended discussion, community workshop, key informant interviews, and role playing games in assessing vulnerability at the household or community level (ActionAid International 2005; Eriksen et al. 2005; Prokopy et al. 2013).
Linking vulnerability on the micro level (individuals, households, "groups") to processes and distant root causes on the macro level has been an immense improvement in explanatory power concerning the overall complexity of hazardous situations, yet it is associated with methodological challenges regarding the social dimension of assessing vulnerability.
Given the estimated sea-level rise at different scenarios of between 0.18 and 0.59 meters by 2100 [ 3], this becomes an important population group when assessing vulnerability of eco-environmental health to climate change.
To develop a framework, different approaches were discussed for assessing eco-environmental health vulnerability, including literature reviews to examine the components of vulnerability such as natural hazard risk and exposure and to investigate already existing frameworks for assessing vulnerability.
Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the vulnerability levels of farming households' agricultural land to climate change in Tana Basin of Dembia woreda.
Shibin et al. (2010) assessed vulnerability and control of structures based on the performance levels.
An example of this is the recent report, from the Department of Defense, that assessed vulnerability of US military bases to damage from climate-related events such as sea level rise, extreme heat and fire.
What clues help assess vulnerability to abrupt climate change?
Infrastructure vulnerability indicators to assess vulnerability to volcanic hazards on Vulcano Island, Italy (Galderisi et al. 2012).
Create robust processes to assess vulnerabilities and engage with investors.
