Ongoing parallel processes of urbanization, aging society, population growth, and increasing consumption interplay with threats caused by climate change, extreme weather events, and … Narrow environmental tolerances or thresholds that are likely to be exceeded under climate change. Biotic factors would include the availability of food organisms and the presence of biological specificity, competitors, predators, and parasites %PDF-1.4 %���� A vulnerability refers to a known weakness of an asset (resource) that can be exploited by one or more attackers. Flood risks and environmental vulnerability 7 Dikes, dams and other human-engineered solutions are examples of infrastructures that continue to prevent and protect many former floodplains from flooding. 0000004126 00000 n Publications Several vulnerability assessment tools are available and have been implemented throughout Florida and surrounding regions. Learn about how scenario planning to help assess climate vulnerability for habitats and species in Florida. For example, when a team member resigns and you forget to disable their access to external accounts, change logins, or remove their names from company credit cards, this leaves your business open to both intentional and unintentional threats. ^��O ����s` cues for migration, breeding or hibernation). 0000008192 00000 n Management and Urban Vulnerability, held in Washington, D.C., on February 25, 1992. Google Scholar Placement into the 5 overall vulnerability levels was based on review of each species relative rank across the 4 ranking options (with more weight placed on the ranking option (2)) that put emphasis on vulnerability. Some examples of a system for which a vulnerability analysis is performed include information technology systems, energy supply systems, transportation systems, water supply systems, and communication systems. The devastating impact in the Caribbean region of the hurricane season in 2017 has put the spotlight on the wide-ranging consequences of environmental vulnerability in developing countries. When the variables are altered, the outcomes of the scenarios change to reflect how these differences are represented or expressed, and how they interact with each other. This process allows for informed decision-making to the benefit of biodiversity. Dependence on interactions between species that are likely to be disrupted. 0 trailer To accommodate the differences across the three vulnerability assessment approaches, five relative levels are used in this tool. degradation of the environment and inability to protect it (ecological vulnerability); lack of strong national and local institutions (organizational vulnerability); lack of public awareness (attitudinal and motivational vulnerability); limited access to political power and representation (political vulnerability); Generally speaking, vulnerability to environmental hazards means the potential for loss. 0000013975 00000 n Examples may include poor design and construction of buildings, inadequate protection of assets, lack of public information and awareness, limited official recognition of risks and preparedness measures, and disregard for wise environmental management. However, much of the research into vulnerability is not designed to feed directly into decision making and policy, creating a gap between the knowledge created by researchers and what is required by decision makers. The habitat categories considered in the habitat vulnerability scoring are shoreline, bottom, and sea ice habitats. For some species it may be critical to assess vulnerability for various life stages. CVSS consists of three metric groups: Base, Temporal, and Environmental. Vulnerability of a river ecosystem is defined in terms of a combined impact of pressure factors such as water withdrawals, pollution, climate change impact on flow variability, and land use. Vulnerability to environmental hazards is much influenced by household income and assets, gender, the quality of housing and basic services, and environmental health risks within the workplace. 0000113812 00000 n Such camps may host sizeable populations of … This tool includes vulnerability of species and habitats to climate change from three assessments: An "overall" vulnerability level was developed for all species that were evaluated in one of the vulnerability assessment processes. Earthquakes and volcanoes tend to occur near boundaries of tectonic plates. 0000002142 00000 n 0000009294 00000 n 0000052617 00000 n The concepts of vulnerability and risks are not only used in the context of foreign and defense policy, but also with regard to environmental security challenges by the global environmental change, the climate change and the hazard and disaster communities, Examples include vulnerability to sea-level rise and cli-mate change (e.g., IPCC 1992, Yamada and others, 1995, Sem and others, 1996, Pernetta, 1990), oil spills in tidal zones (Weslawski and others 1997), groundwa- Recovery in environmental health emergencies. environmental hazards and of entitlements to good-quality environmental resources are important. Species were assigned a vulnerability rank based on results from these three assessments. 0000023381 00000 n The vulnerability associated with high habitat specialization is compounded when a species has several life stages, each with different specialized habitat or microhabitat. Each tool focuses on different aspects of vulnerability, often leading to varied results for the same species. To be consistent with the SIVVA report results, four levels were assigned to the SIVVA species. Visualization of potential changes can be achieved through scenario planning. 185 0 obj<> endobj 0000042952 00000 n It's a gap in your protection. %%EOF This reg… Since losses vary geographically, over time, and among different social groups, vulnerability also varies over time and space. By applying scenario planning, employing credible information, informed questions, robust models, and a willingness to explore a range of alternatives, the percentage of what is unknown can be reduced to a manageable range of plausible futures. Interrelated priorities, including the conservation of biodiversity, ecological restoration, sustainable development, and social justice often underlie these efforts. 0000047940 00000 n [�R33���N،Ol�~�I.Z"����j9����� Climate Change Vulnerability Index (CCVI), Standardized Index for Vulnerability and Value Assessment (SIVVA). Abiotic factors include ambient temperature, amount of sunlight, and pH of the water soil in which an organism lives. For example, a high vulnerability to a particular threat, such as altered precipitation patterns, should be modulated by the relatively high uncertainty in precipitation projections relative to the more predictable change in temperature and sea level rise. Forest fires tend to occur (as you might guess) in forests. 0000027580 00000 n Scenario planning develops a visual or narrative description of plausible future outcomes based on the combination of a range of variables. x�b```b``��������A��b�,��{$�X�3�1�E��nrw��>�-a�q�)�_�����+�7��a���ܽ�����u� n�~f��k�b��~�� Z;��YeY�g�Z투�g��Y��|����&�0 &�N�.��%��O�O՘3�hVs�B��|s�8~-����բ5Mۧ��r���Qsf5L�c��I�˱E-`�7⋓8^=��¶2i˩Ũ9?��t���z��(ش͜��.d����* �tBfrm� Assessing the vulnerability of human populations to global environmental change, particularly climate change, is now the main imperative of research and international action.

Vulnerability assessments and scenario planning can both help reduce some of the uncertainties. cx /� DK�� What is Environmental Vulnerability? The concept of vulnerability has been used to describe the susceptibility of physical, biotic, and social systems to harm or hazard. Environmental management of an area describes a policy for its systematic and sustainable environmental protection. The Environmental Vulnerability Index (EVI) is among the first of tools now being developed to focus environmental management at the same scales that environmentally significant decisions are made, and focus them on planned outcomes. 0000040303 00000 n The Standardized Index of Vulnerability and Value Assessment (SIVVA) does not produce relative rank categories, but allows for different weighting factors to be applied to determine relative order of the species’ vulnerability.

Additionally, assessing the vulnerability of species or habitats to climate change provides insight into which aspects of climate change may affect a species or community the most. Vulnerability can be separated into three elements: Reducing vulnerability will involve decreasing exposure or sensitivity or enabling increased adaptive capacity. Response in environmental health emergencies. These environmental issues transcend borders. vulnerability of modern societies to attacks by non-state terrorist actors. (2009); and R. Turvey’s work on composite vulnerability index (2007). Vulnerability assessment is based on both qualitative and quantitative indicators and in-dices that reflect a country’s vulnerabilities to environmental, economic and social threats and challenges in the identified priority themes. Assessing the vulnerability of the built environment to hazards is extremely important in assessing potential consequences of an event and for mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into the local development planning process. 0000008722 00000 n For example, a high vulnerability to a particular threat, such as altered precipitation patterns, should be modulated by the relatively high uncertainty in precipitation projections relative to the more predictable change in temperature and sea level rise. 0000002041 00000 n Of the 138 species included in this tool, 96 have been evaluated using at least one vulnerability assessment.
