Assessing local vulnerability to climate change in Ecuador
Vulnerability assessments have become necessary to increase the understanding of climate-sensitive systems and inform resource allocation in developing countries. Challenges arise when poor economic and social development combines with heterogeneous climatic conditions. Thus, finding and harmonizing good-quality data at local scale may be a significant hurdle for vulnerability research. In this...
متن کاملAssessing the Vulnerability of Eco-Environmental Health to Climate Change
There is an urgent need to assess the vulnerability of eco-environmental health to climate change. This paper aims to provide an overview of current research, to identify knowledge gaps, and to propose future research needs in this challenging area. Evidence shows that climate change is affecting and will, in the future, have more (mostly adverse) impacts on ecosystems. Ecosystem degradation, p...
متن کاملClimate change vulnerability for species-Assessing the assessments.
Climate change vulnerability assessments are commonly used to identify species at risk from global climate change, but the wide range of methodologies available makes it difficult for end users, such as conservation practitioners or policymakers, to decide which method to use as a basis for decision-making. In this study, we evaluate whether different assessments consistently assign species to ...

22 Climate change vulnerability assessments are commonly used to identify species at risk 23 from global climate change, but the wide range of methodologies available makes it difficult 24 for end users, such as conservation practitioners or policy makers, to decide which method 25 to use as a basis for decision-making. Here, we compare the outputs of 12 such climate 26 change vulnerability ass...
متن کاملA New Framework to Assess Relative Ecosystem Vulnerability to Climate Change
Climate change poses a growing risk to global biodiversity. To prioritize conservation efforts, identification of the species and ecosystems most at risk from further changes in climatic conditions is critically needed. Although frameworks are available to assess species vulnerability to climate change, we still lack an easily implementable, ecosystem-level perspective to inform landscape manag...
