Elements of vulnerability

Table 4.

Those factors are well known the internal nature of today's conflicts and the increasing fragility of international law.

Vulnerability is an essential element and is obtained from the participatory reasoning model.

Table 4 provides an overview of the needs and constraints relating to vulnerability and adaptation assessments in non Annex I Parties.

Parties with particularly high or low populations reported on factors that render them vulnerable to climate change.

In all cases, the way in which societies are organized is a key determinant of vulnerability levels and of whether these result in the need for humanitarian assistance.

Economic vulnerability issues

The Moral Vulnerability of Markets

Because she's weak in the knees?

Risk reduction, therefore, entails reducing vulnerability to hazards.

H. Poverty and environmental vulnerability

Emphasizing that disaster reduction, including reducing vulnerability to natural disasters, is an important element that contributes to the achievement of sustainable development,

Thus, structural vulnerabilities should be compensated for by offsetting capabilities.

These constraints vary according to their cultural specificity, social and economic levels, geographic location, access to financial resources and vulnerability to environmental threats.

Vulnerability assessment and adaptation measures

Emphasizing that disaster reduction, including reducing vulnerability to natural disasters, is an important element that contributes to the achievement of sustainable development,

It will therefore be necessary to obtain information with regard to the number who will need to be displaced and the degree of vulnerability.

b. Developing aquifer vulnerability maps

Emphasizing that disaster reduction, including reducing vulnerability to natural disasters, is an important element that contributes to the achievement of sustainable development,

The situation is fragile utterly fragile.

Commitment 6 Reducing vulnerability and protecting the environment

Draft resolution II Natural disasters and vulnerability

Emphasizing that disaster risk reduction, including reducing vulnerability to natural disasters, is an important cross cutting element that contributes to the achievement of sustainable development,

Research is required not only to study biological vulnerability to increased levels of UV radiation but also other stress factors (i.e., integrated stress assessments).

Vulnerability is not weakness.

Vulnerable?

The same is true for vulnerability of lower castes.

Noting the work being undertaken by the Committee for Development Policy and other international organizations on a vulnerability index, which incorporates, inter alia, environmental and economic vulnerability factors,

One of the main constraints in the assessment of vulnerability and adaptation in non Annex I Parties was the lack of data to meet the demands of the methodologies for these assessments, as well as Parties' inability to conduct the type of vulnerability and adaptation assessments that would generate results reliable enough to be incorporated into national planning processes.

Other Parties used vulnerability indices, such as population distribution and growth, urbanization, mortality and water consumption, to evaluate the vulnerability of human settlements.

Draft resolution on natural disasters and vulnerability

Is it fragile? No, it's not really very fragile.

(a) More effective integration of disaster risk considerations into sustainable development policies, planning and programming at all levels, with special emphasis on disaster prevention, mitigation, preparedness and vulnerability reduction

The increasing fragility of the range, overgrazing, lack of investment and inappropriate herding practices illustrate growing constraints.

Adaptation measures include increasing robustness of infrastructural designs and long term investments, increasing flexibility of vulnerable managed systems, enhancing adaptability of vulnerable natural systems, reversing trends that increase vulnerability, and improving societal awareness and preparedness.

The economy remains very fragile because of the lack of diversification, the lack of competitiveness, the very high factor costs and the very small domestic market.

The political and administrative structures are fragile and predominantly male oriented.
