While the existing literature on climate variability and climate change makes important theoretical contributions on development, vulnerability, and adaptation more broadly, with few exceptions it has not acknowledged that contradictions arise in addressing insecurities via the implementation of development, vulnerability reduction, and adaptation programs.
The Congress focussed on global perspectives on planted forest development, vulnerability and risk management, ecosystem services and landscape restoration, and governance, economics, trade markets and profitability of planted forests.
Consistent with other research findings showing that levels of early development of language skills predicts levels of achievement in elementary school [23] [24], language and cognitive development vulnerability on the EDI showed the strongest relationship with all three FSA scores.
The idea is that by integrating security analysis into the development process, vulnerabilities can be located and addressed before a product goes live.
The etiology of PTB may vary by gestational week because fetal development and vulnerabilities shift rapidly across the 4-month period comprising PTB.
The paper discusses the vulnerability of buildings to windstorms and the development of vulnerability functions for windstorm loss estimation.
This strategy was drawn up against a background of increasing demand for vaccines, rapid progress in developing new vaccines and technologies, continuing health-sector development, increasing vulnerability to pandemics and other health emergencies and more potential opportunities for partnerships.
It follows that future agreements on mitigation and adaptation under the convention will need to recognise the diverse situations of developing countries with respect to their level of economic development, their vulnerability to climate change and their ability to adapt or mitigate.
In addition, both the postnatal and gestational exposure experimental models examined here showed that pesticide exposures during development increased vulnerability to subsequent pesticide exposures occurring later in life.
However, in karst aquifers the development of vulnerability and RII maps is subject to explorational bias due to the impracticality of identifying all karst features within watersheds.
