Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment

STEP 4: Conduct a Climate Change

Vulnerability Assessment (CCVA)
 OBJECTIVES

1 Determine exposed elements to the various climate

stimuli

2 Analyze and determine sensitivities

3 Identify potential impacts of climate change to the
system

4 Analyze adaptive capacities

5 Determine level of vulnerabilities
6 Identify land use planning decision sectors and/or areas
