Global environmental change necessitates understanding vulnerability beyond mere exposure. Resilience and sensitivity are key factors in assessing risks to coupled human-environment systems for sustainability science.

Area of Science:

  • Sustainability Science
  • Environmental Science
  • Ecology

Background:

  • Global environmental change impacts biosphere structure and function.
  • Assessing vulnerability requires understanding who and what is affected by environmental changes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a framework for assessing vulnerability in coupled human-environment systems.
  • To expand traditional vulnerability assessments to include system sensitivity and resilience.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current vulnerability assessment methodologies.
  • Development of a conceptual framework for coupled human-environment systems.

Main Results:

  • Vulnerability is determined by exposure, sensitivity, and resilience.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Existing vulnerability assessments need revision to incorporate coupled systems.

    • Conclusions:

    • A new framework is proposed for assessing vulnerability in integrated human-environment systems.
    • This framework addresses system linkages and their impact on vulnerability.
