(a) Research on the impacts of climate change

7. Expected impacts of climate change and vulnerability assessment

Climate change impacts, adaptation measures and response strategies

Assessing the impacts of climate change methods for projecting the impacts of climate change on a geographical region, economic sector, human health, food production, or ecological system It should be noted that many methods to assess the impacts of climate change are the same as methods to assess the impacts of climate and its normal variability on natural ecosystems and socio economic activities.
