1 ASSESS VULNERABILITY How coral reef and reef dependant societies

are being affected by, and what capacity theyhave to adapt to, climate change impacts ?


12/38

Vulnerability to Climate Change

(Exposure, Sensitivity, Adaptive capacity)

The amount of climate change occurring at a particularplace

(source: Maina et al. 2008)


13/38


(Exposure, Sensitivity, Adaptive capacity)

Degree of impact that a stressor has onsomething.

(Exposure,Sensitivity, Adaptive capacity)

Reflects peoples ability to anticipate andrespond to changes and to minimize, cope withand recover from the consequences of changes

Calculating Adaptive Capacity Eight indicators

Indicator name How measuredLocal knowledge Recognition of factors affecting fish and

suggestions for intervention

Response to fisheries

decline

Hypothetical response to a 50% decline

Occupational mobility Whether they were forced out of prior

employment and whether they prefer new

occupation.

Wealth Material style of life (PCA of housing

materials and appliances in the household)

Occupational multiplicity Total number of occupations per household

Social capital Membership of community organizations'

Technology Number of gears used by fishing households

Infrastructure PCA of facilities available in the community:

health posts and hospitals, schools etc.

(source: McClanahan, Cinner et al. 2008)
