Resilience Adaptation Add Your Company Slogan Vulnerability (W. Neil Adger, 2006) Fanlin Meng Oct 7, 2013 Logo Outline 1 Aim and objectives 2 Paper’s structure 3 Vulnerability& Resilience 4 Questions Outline 1 Aim and objectives 2 Paper’s structure 3 Vulnerability& Resilience 4 Questions Aim and objectives The purpose of the paper is to review existing knowledge on analytical approaches to vulnerability to environmental change in order to propose synergies between research on vulnerability and on resilience of socialecological systems. Aim and objectives This paper: examined the traditions within vulnerability research including the fields of disasters research and research on entitlements; reviewed current research emphases of vulnerable research; examined methodological developments and challenges to human dimensions. Outline 1 Aim and objectives 2 Paper’s structure 3 Vulnerability& Resilience 4 Questions Paper’s structure Introduction Evolution of approaches to vulnerability • • • Antecedents: hazards and entitlements Successors and current research frontiers Traditions exemplified in vulnerability to climate change Challenges and directions for vulnerability research • • • Measuring vulnerability Experiencing vulnerability and surprise Governance implications of vulnerability Conclusion Paper’s structure Introduction Evolution of approaches to vulnerability • • • Antecedents: hazards and entitlements Successors and current research frontiers Traditions exemplified in vulnerability to climate change Challenges and directions for vulnerability research • • • Measuring vulnerability Experiencing vulnerability and surprise Governance implications of vulnerability Conclusion Paper’s structure Antecedents Successors Paper’s structure Entitlement: The actual or potential resources available to individuals based on their own production, assets or reciprocal arrangements. Drought, flood, or pest Lack of entitlements Food insecurity Paper’s structure The physical elements of exposure, probability and impacts of hazards, both seemingly natural and unnatural. Incorporate physical science, engineering and social science to explain linkages between system elements. Paper’s structure Engage with the political and structural causes of vulnerability within society. Explains why the poor and marginalized have been most at risk from natural hazards. Paper’s structure Bridging the two traditions: Capturing the essence of vulnerability from the physical hazards tradition while also identifying the proximate and underlying causes of vulnerability within a human ecology framework. Paper’s structure Sustainable livelihood: The well-being of a person or household and comprises the capabilities, assets and activities that lead to well-being. Development economics.. Does not consider integrative socialecological systems… Paper’s structure Portraying vulnerability as a property of a socialecological system, and seeking to elaborate the mechanisms and processes in a coupled manner. Vulnerability= Sensitivity to stress State relative to threshold × prob. of exposure to stress (The parameter could be a physical or social parameter.) Paper’s structure Measurement of vulnerability must reflect social processes as well Introduction as material outcomes within systems that appear complicated and with many linkages that are difficult to pin down.

Socialecological systems Vulnerability is degree to which a system is susceptible to and is unable to cope with adverse effects (of climate change).
