Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥

This review assessed the suitability of various frameworks, approaches and tools for conducting vulnerability assessments, for use in the EU funded Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ project “Building Resilience to Climate Change in Coastal Southeast Asia”. In particular their suitability for use at the provincial, community, and household/individual levels of analysis was emphasised. The majority of Vulnerability Assessments (VAs) treat vulnerability as a measure of exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity of the system or system component in question; setting guidelines to measure each attribute. This review considers the suitability of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥Â’s own coastal-context vulnerability assessment framework, CAREÂ’s Climate Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis (CVCA), the World Bank risk-based Vulnerability Analysis for Freshwater Ecosystems, Community-based Risk Screening Tool Adaptation and Livelihoods (CRiSTAL) and Dynamic Interactive Vulnerability Analysis (DIVA).
