脆弱性评估是确定谁和什么易受气候变化不利影响的主要方法。研究人员和从业人员通常使用脆弱性评估来衡量物质脆弱性，即资产组合不平衡，以及在社会上有区别地获得权利和决策进程方面的体制脆弱性。然而，由于关于脆弱性和适应的学术研究更好地与发展和可持续性优先事项相一致，并更明确地侧重于气候与全球变化之间的相互关系，因此需要在概念和方法上采取创造性的补充办法来理解脆弱性。本文讨论了过去25年来气候变化VA的代际变化，他们的成就和盲点。我们注意到，对脆弱性和不平等的广泛结构性和关系性驱动因素的关注日益减少，对脆弱性动态的理解不足，阻碍了前瞻性的变革进程。为了弥补这些盲点，并根据对建设适应能力的反思，加上对社会转型的紧急辩论，我们提出了一个全面的框架不平等和转型分析。该框架融合了以前支离破碎的方法，将对不平等和边缘化的结构性和关系性驱动因素以及可能的解决空间的评估与预期学习和变革的反思性和关系性机会结合起来。它有助于替代框架的社会生态脆弱性和适应性更相关的研究议程。
Vulnerability assessments (VAs) are the dominant method to establish who and what is vulnerable to the negative effects of climate change. Researchers and practitioners typically use VAs to measure material vulnerability in terms of unbalanced sets of assets and institutional vulnerability regarding socially differentiated access to rights and decision-making processes. However, as scholarship on vulnerability and adaptation aligns in a better manner with development and sustainability priorities and focuses more explicitly on interrelations between climate and global change, creative complementary approaches to understanding vulnerability are needed, both conceptually and methodologically. This article discusses the generational shifts of climate change VAs over the last 25 years, their achievements and blind spots. We note declining attention to broad structural and relational drivers of vulnerability and inequality, and an inadequate understanding of vulnerability dynamics which hampers forward-looking change processes. To remedy these blind spots, and based on the reflections on building adaptive capacity coupled with emergent debates on societal transformation, we propose a comprehensive framework for Inequality and Transformation Analyses. The framework, fusing previously fractured approaches, combines assessments of structural and relational drivers of inequalities and marginalization as well as possible solution spaces with reflective and relational opportunities for anticipatory learning and transformative change. It contributes to alternative framings for a more relational research agenda on social-ecological vulnerability and adaptation.
