Community vulnerability and extreme events: Developing a typology of coastal settlement vulnerability to aid adaptation strategies

尽管对气候变化的表现形式存在不确定性，但人们普遍认为，任何影响都将不均匀地分担。这些不平衡的结果给个人和社区带来的代价是巨大的。至关重要的是，适应政策必须了解这些不平衡结果的多维性，以减轻负面成本。通过整合多种方法来了解沿海住区对极端天气事件的适应，该项目旨在促进对针对性强、有效干预措施的理解。它结合了经过一系列学科培训的研究人员的技能和知识，以解决这些重要的现实世界问题。

Despite uncertainty regarding the manifestations of climate change there is widespread agreement that any impacts will be unevenly shared. The costs to individuals and communities of these uneven outcomes are significant. Crucially, adaptation policy must understand the multi-dimensional nature of these uneven outcomes so as to ameliorate negative costs. In its integration of a multi-method approach to understanding adaptation to extreme weather events in coastal settlements, this project aims to advance understanding of well targeted and effective interventions. It combines the skills and knowledge of researchers trained across a range of disciplines to address these important real world issues.
