This section goes over the practical details of the local assessment of challenges and chances generated by climate change. By working with the exposure and sensitivity, and response action parts, you will improve your knowledge, particularly about the wider context in which to evaluate and interpret the potential challenges and chances resulting from climate change.

The Vulnerability Assessment process consists of two parts spanning seven vulnerability related exercises. Each exercise provides a platform for conducting an in-depth analysis of the most critical issues involved in an assessment of challenges and chances generated by climate change. Before you start with the exercises, it is important that you clearly define what your specific focus is and who will run the assessment process, i.e., who will be responsible for planning, inviting, conducting, documenting, and disseminating the results from the exercises.
