本文回顾了环境变化脆弱性的研究传统，以及当前脆弱性研究在与恢复力和适应相结合的过程中面临的挑战。脆弱性是由于暴露于与环境和社会变化有关的压力以及由于缺乏适应能力而易受伤害的状态。先前的传统包括作为权利失败的脆弱性理论和危害理论。这些领域中的每一个都有助于目前将易受环境变化影响的表述作为与复原力有关的社会生态系统的一个特征。对气候变化影响脆弱性的研究跨越了前人和后继的所有传统。脆弱性研究面临的挑战是制定健全和可信的措施，纳入包括风险和脆弱性感知在内的多种方法，并纳入对调节脆弱性和促进适应性行动和复原力机制的治理研究。这些挑战在脆弱性、适应性和复原力领域是共同的，并构成了协调和一体化的共同基础。(c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
This paper reviews research traditions of vulnerability to environmental change and the challenges for present vulnerability research in integrating with the domains of resilience and adaptation. Vulnerability is the state of susceptibility to harm from exposure to stresses associated with environmental and social change and from the absence of capacity to adapt. Antecedent traditions include theories of vulnerability as entitlement failure and theories of hazard. Each of these areas has contributed to present formulations of vulnerability to environmental change as a characteristic of social-ecological systems linked to resilience. Research on vulnerability to the impacts of climate change spans all the antecedent and successor traditions. The challenges for vulnerability research are to develop robust and credible measures, to incorporate diverse methods that include perceptions of risk and vulnerability, and to incorporate governance research on the mechanisms that mediate vulnerability and promote adaptive action and resilience. These challenges are common to the domains of vulnerability, adaptation and resilience and form common ground for consilience and integration. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
