The possible impacts of global climate change on different
countries has led to the development and ratification of the
Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC) and has a strong
bearing on the future sustainable development of developing
countries and countries with economies in transition. The
preparation of analytical methodologies and tools for carrying out
assessments of vulnerability and adaptation to climate change is
therefore of prime importance to these countries. Such assessments
are needed to both fulfill the reporting requirements of the
countries under the FCCC as well as to prepare their own climate
change adaptation and mitigation plans. The vulnerability and
adaptation assessment guidelines prepared by the U.S. Country
Studies Program bring together all the latest knowledge and
experience from around the world on both vulnerability analysis as
well as adaptation methodologies. It is currently being applied
successfully by scientists in over fifty countries from all the
regions of the globe. This guidance is being published to share it
with the wider scientific community interested in global climate
change issues. This guidance document has two primary purposes: *
To assist countries in making decisions about the scope and methods
for their vulnerability and adaptation assessments, * To provide
countries with guidance and step-by-step instructions on each of
the basic elements of vulnerability and adaptation assessments.
