The impact resistance of carbon carbon materials is comparable with aluminium however, they have some brittle features (spall effects).

Poverty and environmental vulnerability are interdependent and should be kept under review.

Economic vulnerability issues

Information provided by Parties on current and future key vulnerabilities was dependent on the relative importance to their economy.

The Moral Vulnerability of Markets

The desolation seen two weeks ago in the southern part of the United States of America has clearly demonstrated the vulnerabilities of low lying coastal areas, which are so similar to those of small island developing States.

Draft resolution II Natural disasters and vulnerability

The same is true for vulnerability of lower castes.

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

Hands on training workshop on vulnerability and adaptation assessments for the Africa region

The report should address synergies as they relate to vulnerability at three levels ecosystems, production systems and social systems.

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

No information was included in the national communication on vulnerability and adaptation.

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 political and administrative structures are fragile and predominantly male oriented.

7. Expected impacts of climate change and vulnerability assessment

Given the economic vulnerability of the population in those countries, the theft of tens of thousands of motor vehicles was a major destabilizing factor.

Accordingly, a vulnerability indicator and special and differential treatment were needed to reflect the trade needs of small island developing States (SIDS).

Reaffirm the continued validity of the Barbados Programme of Action as the blueprint providing the fundamental framework for the sustainable development of small island developing States

Health systems operate in different kinds of settings for example, fragile States.

It is also important to take into account at all times the country's vulnerability to natural disasters, as we saw with tropical storm Jeanne, which struck the country a few months ago.

To collaborate with the relevant institutions to complete vulnerability indices.

Group of 77 (core group on natural disasters and vulnerability)

Various methods and approaches were used by Parties to assess impacts, vulnerability and adaptation (see table 1).

However, despite relative stability, the overall security situation remains very fragile.

Despite this relative stability, the overall security situation remains very fragile.

Food security Parties pointed out that many measures addressing vulnerabilities in one sector also had co benefits in other sectors that are vulnerable to climate change.

Practical guidelines for gender sensitive vulnerability and food security analysis have also been prepared.
