First Generation Vulnerability Assessments:
What can/should they do?
25 July 2012

Environmentally and Climate-Friendly
Urban Development in Da Nang (ECUD)
Motivation
Da Nang Vulnerability Assessments
• PEMSEA (2004) focused on Disaster Risks
• DaCRISS, JICA (2007-2010) focused on Urban Strategy
• ACCCRN, Rockefeller (2008-2010) CC Adaptation
• City/CCCO, Da Nang PC (2011) CC Adaptation
Based on existing experience
• How should small communities prepare CC assessment?
• How can they do so w/o assistance?
• What parts of Da Nang methodology should be adopted, what
discarded?
• What should the objectives be of a 1st Generation Assessment?
• For action planning, what should be done now, what should be
postponed for later?
Key Messages
First Generation Assessments
 Principal purpose is Mobilization and Start-up. There are many iterations
to come.
 Major concrete decisions come only after mainstreaming
 Climate change adaptation is one of many objectives, must be balanced
against others of equal importance
Replication with lesser resources is possible
 Often CC Assessments do both too much and too little
 Limit objectives to awareness, exploration, work program
 Use existing regional CC rather than own forecasts
 Be incomplete, limit analysis to priority hazards
 Avoid detail not later used
 Cooperate with others
 Focus on plausibility and story line, quantify later
 Use indicators rather than abstract concepts
 Use disaster risk and DRR as starting point, is already familiar

Climate Change and Its Impacts
Scenario Analysis (exists)
 Use MoNRE Regional scenarios: Sea level rise, change in temperature and
rainfall
 Variations from regional average too small to matter
Identify secondary/tertiary hazards
Type of hazards
 Flooding, inundation: area, depth, frequency, location
 Saline intrusion: area, impact
 Storms, tai
Source of Information
 Use data from DRR action plans/Flood Committee
Identify Historical Disasters
Mostly exists for major disasters
Use ‘Climate Plus Approach’ – current hazards + things will get worse
• Rely on current situation as starting point
• Limited exposure forecasts, vulnerability horizon non-specific
• Uses capacity experience with recent disasters
Exposure Analysis
Cause/Effect
 Exposure determines vulnerability and risk
 Reverse also holds: risk changes how people behave
Time Horizon
 Identical to climate change scenario
 In Climate Plus Approach say city & income grow or say double in 20-40
years
 In Full Approach specify time, say t = 0, 20, 40 years
Key elements
Base the elements on indicators used in vulnerability analysis and the need
of the risk analysis
 Scale: Population, employment
 Unit Values: Income, assets (relate value land, life GDP pc)
 Land Use: Direction of growth relative to hazards, density
 Policies: Conservation policies, building regulations
Vulnerability Assessment
Cause Effect
 Depend on two scenarios: Hazards and Exposure
 Vulnerabilities can impact policies and hence exposure
Types
 Capital Cost ($): Human, Man-made, Natural resources (Loss of
housing, infrastructure, forests, land, quality of land etc)
 Current Operating Losses ($/unit time): Loss of wages, output,
productivity, etc)
Vulnerability Descriptors
 Scoring: Abstract, difficult to give meaning, difficult to aggregate
 Verbal explanation: Intuitive, concrete,
 Indicators: Can be quantified; can be in intensive form
• Loss of life (in VND) due to storms per 100,000 population
• Income loss from flooding as % of monthly GDP
• Hectares of land lost (in has or VND) due to erosion

Risk Analysis: Quantitative Illustration
Loss of Life
 From exposure analysis: Population 1,000,000; income pc pa $1,000
 From vulnerability analysis annual loss of life per 100,000 population: 0.5
 Value of life: 100 times annual income (based on people’s own risk behavior and
revealed preferences)
 Current annual risk: $1,000x100x 0.5 x 1,000,000/100,000 = $500,000
 Future annual risk (40 years hence):
•
•
Population 2m, income pc pa $3,000, future loss per 100,000 is 0.6
Annual Expected Loss: $3,000 x 100 x 0.6 x 2,000,000/100,000 = $ 3,600,000
 Present Value, Discount Rate 5%; Horizon 40 years; PWF
Loss of Land (due to salinity, erosion, sea level rise)





Exposure analysis: Avg value of eroding land $10,000/ha; $30,000/ha in 40 yrs
Vulnerability analysis annual loss of land: 6 hectares now, 10 has in 40 years
Current annual risk: $10,000 x 6 = $60,000
Future annual risk (40 years hence): $30,000 x 10 = $300,000
Present Value, Discount Rate 5%; Horizon 40 years; PWF
Adaptive Capacity
Da Nang Typology
Differentiated by type of hazard and type of capacity. Seems too detailed and
not sufficiently intuitive
 (i) Regulations, policies; (ii) Capacity Building (iii) Promotion, education; (iv)
Scientific research; (v) Construction, infrastructure; (vi) Tree planting
Modifications
 Add capacities:
•
•
•
•
Governance
Planning and coordination capacity
Finance
Willingness to act
 Many capacities cross hazard, no need to evaluate by hazard
Strategic Options
For each hazard review Instruments for protection, preparedness,
coping, recovery
 Policies, regulations to modify behavior
 Direct interventions through infrastructure, risk management
 Adaptive capacity (knowledge systems, planning, governance,
management, resources)
Example Drought
Supply Side Instruments
 Reservoir construction, evaporation control, water storage systems
 Water management
Demand Side Instruments
 Price, shadow pricing for resource value
 Regulation of indirect demand: Appliances and Fixtures, landscaping
 Building codes
 Incentives, penalties, fees, surcharges
 Curtailment, rationing
Short-Term Actions
Reasons for Postponement of Immediate Action




Impact of Discounting: Benefits are far in the future, cost is now
Uncertainty declines
Productivity gains from technical change available to postponement
Idle capacity cost offsets economies of scale
Reasons for Immediate Action




Long gestation period
No regrets
Irreversibility, foreclosure of opportunities
Gains from economies of scale exceed idle capacity cost
Focus on building adaptive capacity
 Knowledge systems
•
•
•
Data and indicator development, monitoring and evaluation, data management
Building scientific capacity
Preparation of models, what if questions
 Planning, management and governance systems
 Resources and Finance
