  Vulnerability to climate stress:local and regional perspectives: proceedings of two workshops

  Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo, 2005

  This report discusses the proceedings of two related workshops, which presented the findings of the project “Adaptation as a livelihood struggle: conflict and vulnerability among dryland populations in Kenya”. This research looked at how conflicts shape adaptation and contribute to vulnerability in the face of climate stresses, such as drought.

  Disaster risk, climate change and international development: scope for, and challenges to, integration.

  Wiley InterScience, 2006

  The authors state that reduction of weather related losses, achieving the Millennium Development Goals, and implementing successful responses to climate change can only be accomplished if they are undertaken in an integrated manner.

  Sustainable livelihood approach for assessing community resilience to climate change: case studies from Sudan

  Assessments of Impacts and Adaptations to Climate Change, 2005

  Community based sustainable livelihood (SL) and environmental management (EM) measures have already been implemented in rural communities of Sudan. These measures aim to build resilience to the stresses of drought and climate variability, as well as increase adaptive capacity to future climate change.

  Adaptation to climate variability and change: proceedings of the international conference on adaptation to climate variability and change

  Institute For Social And Environmental Transition, 2006

  These conference proceedings summarise the discussions held in New Delhi (January 5-7, 2006) on adaptation to climatic variability and change.

  Preparedness for climate change

  International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, 2003

  It is identified in this paper that climate change is already happening and is likely to result in a variety of impacts for the foreseeable future.

  Vulnerability, adaptation and climate disasters: a conceptual overview

  Climate Change and Disasters Group, Institute of Development Studies, Sussex, UK, 2005

  The policy paper (a primer to a more comprehensive policy bulletin) draws insights from the Linking Climate Adaptation (LCA) project, and addresses climate change adaptation and developing countries’ vulnerabilities to extreme climate change events.

  Disaster risk management in a changing climate

  Vulnerability and Adaptation Resource Group, 2005

  As awareness of climate change and disaster risk reduction increases there is a real opportunity to reduce current and future vulnerabilities to climate risks by expanding on disaster risk management efforts.
• Document

  Disaster risk reduction: a development concern

  Department for International Development, UK, 2005

  Poverty and vulnerability do not necessarily overlap. Not all disasters affect the poorest the most, yet the poor tend to be more exposed and susceptible to hazards and suffer greater losses. Disasters can induce poverty.
• Document

  New indicators of vulnerability and adaptive capacity

  Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, 2004

  In order to understand processes underlying climate change adaptation and response, and determine the strength and efficiency of adaptation strategies, there is a need to develop indicators of vulnerability and adaptive capacity.

  Effects of climate change on the sustainability of capture and enhancement fisheries important to the poor: analysis of the vulnerability and adaptability of fisherfolk living in poverty

  Fisheries Management Science Programme, UK, 2004

  Although the majority of the world’s fisherfolk live in areas susceptible to the impacts of climate change, relationships between the physical impacts of climate change and the livelihood vulnerability of poor fishing communities have seldom been investigated.
