A new composite climate change vulnerability index

A New Climate vulnerability Index Sistan and Baluchistan province

The more exposure to Climate change / variability, the more vulnerability and a community with low adaptive capacity and high sensitivity is more vulnerable. Vulnerability reduction depends on adaptation policy and strategies. Designing and assessing these strategies require climate vulnerability (CV) measuring. To produce a new CV index, as a main propose of this study, first: The score of exp...

Designing an index of structural vulnerability to climate change

Introduction Since climate change has been recognized as a dominant issue for world economy and policy, resources have been looked for financing mitigation as well as adaptation. Logically allocation criteria should be different for mitigation and adaptation. As for adaptation, the criteria should reflect the need of the countries and their capacity to effectively use the resources. The same is...

Accepted Article Climate Variability and Vulnerability to Climate Change: a Review Running Head: Climate Variability and Vulnerability Climate Variability and Vulnerability to Climate Change: a Review

The focus of the great majority of climate change impact studies is on changes in mean climate. In terms of climate model output, these changes are more robust than changes in climate variability. By concentrating on changes in climate means, the full impacts of climate change on biological and human systems are probably being seriously underestimated. Here we briefly review the possible impact...
