Impacts and vulnerability assessment Sample Clauses

Impacts and vulnerability assessment. Vulnerability has been defined as a function of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity, or potential impacts and adaptive capacity, with potential impacts defined as a function of exposure and sensitivity (EC and EEA, 2013; Xxxxxx, 2011; IPCC, 2001a; Xxxxxxx et al., 2008). Xxxxxx argues that this vague definition is similar to defining a car as "a function of tires, engine, and coachwork" - that vulnerability is not a simple decomposition of the three functions but instead more details are necessary in order to progress from functions to components to an assembly (2011, p. 200). Xxxxxx identifies two sources of confusion regarding indicators and vulnerability: confusion about the purpose of indicators, especially considering the vagueness and lack of clarity surrounding the main terms in climate change discourse, and confusion about the purpose of vulnerability assessment in general (Xxxxxx, 2011). Vulnerability is scenario specific, to a defined sector, service, location, and time (Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx, 2006; Xxxxxxx et al., 2008), and requires specific, operational definitions of the function terms (exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity) as well as the terms that define the functions, which remain absent or undefined in many cases (adverse, rare, etc.). (Xxxxxx, 2011). Adger et al. provide an overview of the steps necessary to assess vulnerability and adaptive capacity with indicators:
