Dear Scholars,

Climate Change and Variability is perhaps one of the major challenges facing the world today.

Could you assist me understand how one can empirically measure climate exposure?

Any publication on this is helpful.

Thank you.

Dennis

a not strictly scientific but a pragmatic approch you find here:

"The Vulnerability Sourcebook: Concept and guidelines for standardised vulnerability assessments"

May be a good starting Point.

Hi,

Attached paper could be useful for you.

Eberhard Weber

In most cases people are not vulnerable to climate change, but to the impacts it is causing. Crucial is here the context, people's exposure, their capacities to cope with, adapt to and recover from impacts. Here livelihoods play a role and how they are effected by impacts (hazards, impacts on agriculture, fisheries, etc......)

How to measure exposure means to measure the impacts CC can be to have a medium term analysis on food production, or the numbers of tropical cycelone, or flooding. One could measure (what is done) average temperatures, or rainfall information, but these data just help to confirm that changes are happening, but one can learn little on the impacts on people.....
