I am reviewing the current trends in vulnerability assessment for climate change impact. While every discipline seems to have their own definition and conceptualization for vulnerability itself, it is interesting to note that they have some similarities that convey the same ideology when applied. It is to this end that I am looking for a framework that aims to synthesize an assessment of vulnerability regardless of whatever field that may be.
Members of my lab group have been working on this for years: http://www.climatevulnerability.org/
Hi, we made a summary of our climate change vulnerability project (Forsius et al. 2013.Impacts and adaptation options of climate change on ecosystem
services in Finland: a model based study. Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability 2013, 5:26–40.) The basic idea of the project was to estimate vulnerability of different ecosystem services to climate change in Finland.
An ECDC project I was working on was attempting to create a framework identifying vulnerability to disease (non-disease specific). We have just published a paper on it. I hope it is helpful...

I thank everyone for your contributions. I am wondering if anyone has worked on changing trends in the assessment of vulnerability...
Are you looking for something like that?
Bruno Soares et al. (2012): Conceptual elements of climate change vulnerability assessments: a review. International Journal of Climate Change Strategies and Management. Vol. 4 No. 1, pp. 6-35.
Füssel (2007): Vulnerability: A generally applicable conceptual framework for climate change research. Global Environmental Change 17, 155–167.
I have seen the two papers, I was just wondering if there was any other I might have missed like the one referred by Kenneth Macclune above. Or if anyone did anything similar.
I tried to assess the social vulnerability. The papers are.
