In most cases the recovery process stops in the recovery phase, without including the experience gained following the disaster, which encourages emergent vulnerability and reduce the possibility to build back better.
Dr Rachel Warren, from the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research and school of Environmental Sciences at UEA, and co-ordinating lead author of Chapter 19: Emergent Risks and Key Vulnerabilities, lays the impacts as temperatures rise: Global temperatures have already risen by 0.8C.
They also observe that presently, vulnerability assessment studies lack direct engagement with stakeholders and the field of vulnerability mapping remains an emergent and subjective practice associated with a number of methodological challenges.
Humans show individual specific genetic and clinical features such as complexity, cooperation, resilience, robustness, vulnerability, self-organization, latent and emergent behavior during their development, growth and senescence.
Differential vulnerability, through which stress alters vulnerability to the effects of environmental hazards, is an emergent notion in environmental health that may contribute to these disparities.
New emergent strains of MDR-TB could only perpetuate after this window of vulnerability opened.
The vulnerability of the elderly to severe illness from a newly emergent influenza virus should not be underestimated.
There is an emergent notion in the environmental health literature that social factors and stress alter vulnerability to the harmful health effects of environmental exposures that then contribute to racial/ethnic health disparities (Gee and Payne-Sturges 2004).
Emergent factors from a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were identified as domains of social vulnerability.
An emergent problem for decision-makers is the diversity and abundance of information available for vulnerability assessments.
