Summary

Abstract: Synthetic Assessment of Global Distribution of Vulnerability to Climate Change: Maps and Data, 2005, 2050, and 2100 consist of maps and vulnerability index to climate change of 100 countries based on the Vulnerability-Resilience Indicator Model (VRIM), which not only presents sensitivity to climate change stresses but allows the division of indicators into components that reflects sensitivity and ...

Purpose: To provide geographical portraits of vulnerability designed to incorporate both exposure to climate change and national capacities to adapt.
