本文研究了全球三个沿海城市--孟买、里约热内卢和上海--对气候灾害的脆弱性。该文件强调了系统的特点，在独特的组合，创建基于地方的气候灾害的脆弱性。它描述了这些脆弱性，然后讨论了城市规划者和管理者的结果的影响。最后一节评估了妨碍更好地备灾的一些政治障碍。
This paper examines the vulnerabilities of three global coastal cities - Mumbai, Rio de Janeiro and Shanghai - to climate hazards. The paper highlights system characteristics that, in unique combinations, create place-based vulnerabilities to climate hazards. It describes these vulnerabilities then discusses the implications of the results for city planners and managers. A concluding section assesses some of the political obstacles to better disaster preparedness.
