Assessing the vulnerability of forests and people to climate change (PDF 336kb)
This working paper provides an overview of methods and tools suitable for assessing the vulnerability of forests, forest ecosystem services and forest-dependent people or sectors to climate change. The chapters cover:
(i) scope of the analysis,
(ii) generic methods and tools,
(iii) methods and tools for the vulnerability of ecosystems,
(iv) people, and
(v) integrated socio-ecological systems.
It provides a typology of methods and tools and gives examples, taken mostly from the experience of Center for International Forest Research (CIFOR) and Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center (CATIE) in the Tropical Forests and Climate Change Adaptation (TroFCCA) project in Central America, West Africa and Asia.
