Mapping human vulnerability to climate change in the Brazilian Amazon: The construction of a municipal vulnerability index
(Public Library of Science, 2018)
A climate change vulnerability index and case study in a Brazilian Coastal City
(2016-08-18)
Coastal areas are highly susceptible to the effects of climate change, particularly to sea-level rise and extreme rainfall events, resulting in increased social and environmental vulnerabilities. In this context, the need ...
Catastrophe zones by hydro-meteorological events in Chile and contributions for a climate risk index
(PONTIFICA UNIV CATOLICA CHILE, INST GEOGRAFIA, 2016)
It is estimated that changes in global weather patterns and natural dynamics can cause a high incidence of extreme events, and therefore increase risk levels. In this study, we review the major climatic and hydrometeorological ...
‘Q-Storming’ to identify challenges and opportunities for integrating health and climate adaptation measures in Africa
(Elsevier, 2023)
Introduction: Climate factors influence the state of human health and wellbeing. Climate-related threats are particularly being experienced by vulnerable populations in Africa. A Question (Q)-Storming session was convened ...
Vulnerability to the health effects of climate variability in rural southwestern Uganda
(Springer, 2015)
Vulnerability to the health impacts of climate change will be shaped by the existing burden of ill- health and is expected to be highest in poor and socio-economically marginalized populations. Sub-Saharan Africa, in ...
Identifying gaps on health impacts, exposures, and vulnerabilities to climate change on human health and wellbeing in South America: a scoping review
(Elsevier, 2023)
There is an important gap in regional information on climate change and health, limiting the development of science-based climate policies in South American countries. This study aims to identify the main gaps in the ...
Out of sight, out of mind: Phylogenetic and taxonomic gaps imply great underestimations of the species’ vulnerability to global climate change
(Associacao Brasileira de Ciencia Ecologica e Conservacao, 2021-04)
The study of the species’ climatic niche is an excellent proxy of their vulnerability to global climate change. It is well known that species with greater niche marginality or a smaller niche breadth are most vulnerable ...
Climate vulnerability assessment of key fishery resources in the Northern Humboldt Current System
(Springer Nature, 2022)
The Northern Humboldt Current System sustains one of the most productive fisheries in the world. However, climate change is anticipated to negatively affect fish production in this region over the next few decades, and ...
Hotspots and ecoregion vulnerability driven by climate change velocity in Southern South America
(Springer, 2020)
Any conservation strategy must deal with the uncertainty caused by anthropogenic climate change. In order to forecast such changes, the climate change velocity approach has been used to measure ecosystem exposure to this ...
