Climate change vulnerability assessment is a rapidly developing
field. However, despite the fact that such major trends as
globalization and the changing characteristics of the political and
economic governance systems are crucial in shaping a community's
capacity to adapt to climate change, these trends are seldom
included in assessments. This book addresses this shortcoming by
developing a framework for qualitative vulnerability assessment
inmultiple impact studies (of climate change and globalization) and
applying this framework to several cases of renewable natural
resource use. The book draws upon case studies of forestry and
fishing - two of the largest sectors that rely on renewable natural
resources - and reindeer herding in the European North. The study
represents a bottom-up view, originating with the stakeholders
themselves, of the degree to which stakeholders find adaptation to
climate change possible and how they evaluate it in relation to
their other concerns, notably economic and political ones.
Moreover, the approach and research results include features that
could be broadly generalized to other geographic areas or sectors
characterized by renewable natural resource use.
