Climate resilience framework: Training materials
Series 2. Understanding Vulnerability and Risk
Overview
The Climate Resilience Framework is a conceptual framework for simplifying and analyzing complex relationships between people, systems, institutions and climate change. The framework helps clarify factors that need to be included in the diagnosis of climate vulnerability, structures the systematic analysis of vulnerability in ways that clearly identify the entry points for responding, and supports strategic planning to build resilience to climate change.
Series 2 of the Climate Resilience Framework: Training Materials systematically walks a city climate working group through some of the steps involved in conceptualizing, compliling, analyzing and utilizing an initial citywide vulnerability and climate risk study. This series is designed for a community and/or working group with little previous experience conducting climate vulnerability and risk assessments. However, communities that have conducted vulnerability and risk assessments previously will find that this series contains tips that help re-evaluate previoulsy collected data in more systematic manner, allowing clear identification of gaps.
