全球环境变化和可持续性科学日益认识到，需要解决生物圈结构和功能变化的后果。这些变化提出了一些问题，如：谁和什么容易受到正在发生的多种环境变化的影响，以及在哪里？研究表明，脆弱性不仅表现在遭受灾害（扰动和压力）的程度上，而且还表现在经历此类灾害的系统的敏感性和复原力上。这一认识要求修订和扩大脆弱性评估的基本设计，包括处理相互关联的人类-环境系统的能力以及影响其脆弱性的系统内外的联系。本文提出了一个评估人-环境耦合系统脆弱性的框架。
Global environmental change and sustainability science increasingly recognize the need to address the consequences of changes taking place in the structure and function of the biosphere. These changes raise questions such as: Who and what are vulnerable to the multiple environmental changes underway, and where? Research demonstrates that vulnerability is registered not by exposure to hazards (perturbations and stresses) alone but also resides in the sensitivity and resilience of the system experiencing such hazards. This recognition requires revisions and enlargements in the basic design of vulnerability assessments, including the capacity to treat coupled human-environment systems and those linkages within and without the systems that affect their vulnerability. A vulnerability framework for the assessment of coupled human-environment systems is presented.
