尽管很少有人这样描述，但气候变化的脆弱性从根本上讲是一个政治经济问题。这份进展报告从政治经济学的角度解读了有关气候变化脆弱性的当代研究。它将这项研究解释为解释了关于脆弱性的想法、造成脆弱性的机构以及那些对脆弱性感兴趣的行为者之间的相互作用。它突出了批评脆弱性概念的研究，这表明了那些处于风险中的人在驾驭塑造他们适应气候变化选择的交叉、多标量和远程联系的机构时的能力。该报告还强调了一些研究，这些研究正在追踪造成脆弱性的强大机构和利益集团本身是如何通过挪用弱势群体的事业、使脆弱性的原因去政治化、以及推动金融和市场创新作为解决方案来进行适应的。通过这些方式，政治和经济机构正在维持自身，并利用气候变化带来的机遇，牺牲那些风险最大的人的利益。
Though rarely described as such, vulnerability to climate change is fundamentally a matter of political economy. This progress report provides a reading of contemporary research on vulnerability to climate change through a political economic lens. It interprets the research as explaining the interplay between ideas about vulnerability, the institutions that create vulnerability, and those actors with interests in vulnerability. It highlights research that critiques the idea of vulnerability, and that demonstrates the agency of those at risk as they navigate the intersecting, multi-scalar and teleconnected institutions that shape their choices in adapting to climate change. The report also highlights research that is tracking the way powerful institutions and interests that create vulnerability are themselves adapting by appropriating the cause of the vulnerable, depoliticising the causes of vulnerability, and promoting innovations in finance and markets as solutions. In these ways, political and economic institutions are sustaining themselves and capitalising on the opportunities presented by climate change at the expense of those most at risk.
