Summary
Climate change vulnerability assessment is a rapidly developing field. However despite the fact that such major trends as globalization and the changing characteristics of the political and economic governance systems are crucial in shaping a community?s capacity to adapt to climate change these trends are seldom included in assessments. This book addresses this shortcoming by developing a framework for qualitative vulnerability assessment in?multiple impact? studies (of climate change and globalization) and applying this framework to several cases of renewable natural resource use. The book.
