This training manual on vulnerability and climate change impacts, assessments and adaptation presents a methodology to assess vulnerability to, and impacts of, climate change at national and sub-regional level. It is intended at training government officials and city and regional leaders to help in the development of their environment and climate change outlooks.
Supported by examples and exercises, the module describes the process for interpreting climate change projections, for assessing current and future vulnerability and for addressing climate change in the context of other development priorities to help in moving towards a more sustainable and resilient development pathway.
