摘要: Purpose – This paper aims to present a new framework for climate change vulnerability, impact and adaptation (VIA) assessment. Greater attention has been given in recent years the importance of conducting VIA assessment prior to, or as part of, strategies projects. A provides decision-makers project developers with information on location causes vulnerability based local knowledge scientific data, so that effective responses are targeted site-specific can be designed. challenge facing practitioners this field is lack clear methodologies agreed frameworks how conduct Design/methodology/approach presents methodological developed through three sub-regional pilot assessments impacts change, Regional Gateway Technology Transfer Action Climate Change Latin America and...
