Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessment Report

Summary

A Vulnerability and Adaptation (V&A) Assessment takes stock of area characteristics, current and observed climate changes impacts along with natural hazards; and adaptation strategies employed in response to these, as well as looks at climate change scenarios for a particular locality. It is a risk assessment and looks at alternative adaptation coping capacities with respect to the likely risk scenarios.

This V&A assessment is part of a bigger project on innovative financing and insurance schemes of the ILO CCA Project. This assessment is viewed to characterize the municipality’s climate change vulnerabilities, current adaptation strategies and point to adaptation options for the future.
