Vulnerability to Climate Change: Adaptation Strategies and Layers of Resilience - Quantifying Vulnerability to Climate Change in Thailand. Research Report No. 9

The main objective of vulnerability analysis is to understand the extent to which the system is susceptible to the sustaining damage from climate change. The analysis was carried out based on the different sets of socio-economic variables using the standard IPCC methodology. The northeastern region of Thailand is highly vulnerable compared to the other regions. Further, the provincial vulnerability mapping for the northeastern region was also undertaken. This study was done as a precursor to the micro/household analysis on exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity.
