This work responds to the increasing global need of measuring and
analyzing impacts, vulnerabilities and coping capacity of
countries, regions and communities regarding climate change,
extreme weather conditions, natural disasters and institutional
constraints. The case of Mexico, analyzed in this work, provides
lessons for further developing countries to assess natural
disasters vulnerability, for making informed adaptation decisions
and to optimize resources for reducing country and community
vulnerability. This book's analyses contribute to the current
debate of the long-term economic impact of natural disasters
(hurricanes, earthquakes, etc.), as well as offer an integral
methodology combining natural and social sciences for studies of
country and community level vulnerability to climate change. The
lessons derived from this analysis provide useful elements for the
design and improvement of governmental policies concerning social
and economic development as well. In addition, the desegregation of
this analysis has the advantage of facilitating the design and
evaluation of governmental projects at municipal, sub-national and
national level, as well as provides conceptual-empirical elements
for international cooperation in matters of disaster risk
reduction, climate change adaptation, rural development and poverty
reduction.
