Appendix A: Annotated Bibliography Assessing Social Vulnerability To Climate Change: Concepts & Methods Tapsell, Sue, Simon McCarthy, Hazel Faulkner, and Meghan Alexander. Social Vulnerability to Natural Hazards. CapHaz-Net: Social Capacity Building for Natural Hazards - Toward More Resilient Societies. Middlesex University, 2010. Under the auspices of CapHaz-Net, a research network devoted to investigating the social dimensions of natural hazards, the authors of this report present a review of contemporary literature on social vulnerability by both academics and practitioners, with a focus on extreme hydrometeorological events. The report includes an examination of concepts and definitions; an evaluation of various conceptual models and methods of assessing vulnerability; and discussion about the roles and responsibilities of various actors, including the state, communities and households. The authors note that there are numerous challenges in integrating climate change adaptation, which is long term and generally approached in a top-down manner; and disaster reduction, which considers immediate impacts, and is usually performed using a bottom-up approach. The report also discusses a number of studies of vulnerability performed in various European nations. While this report is specific to Europe, the conceptual models examined may generally be applied in any developed western nation. Fussel, Hans-Martin. Review and Quantitative Analysis of Indices of Climate Change Exposure, Adaptive Capacity, Sensitivity, and Impacts. Background Note to the World Bank Development Report 2010. Washington: World Bank, 2009. This publication by Hans-Martin Fussel is an exhaustive review of climate change and natural hazard indices, performed for the World Bank. The focus of the report is an evaluation of indices of vulnerability to be applied at the national level, in order to direct adaptation funding to the most vulnerable nations. The indices discussed consider overall vulnerability, not only social vulnerability. While many of the features of these indices are not applicable to the study at hand, Fussel’s discussion of conceptual and methodological choices is informative. Specifically, he offers an assessment of aggregated and disaggregated vulnerability indices, and critiques various methods for weighting indicators. He notes that such methodological choices have a great impact on the results obtained by an index. Adger, W. Neil, Nick Brooks, Graham Bentham, Maureen Agnew, and Siri Eriksen. New Indicators of Vulnerability and Adaptive Capacity. Norwich: Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, 2004. This study has three main components. First, it sets forth a conceptual framework for developing indicators of vulnerability and adaptive capacity, based on a literature review, meetings with practitioners in the field of vulnerability, adaptation and natural hazards; and discussions with what the authors describe as ‘key individuals.’ Second, the authors develop diagnostic indicators of risk, measured in terms of the outcome of climate related disasters, measured by mortality, morbidity and displacement. Third, they create a set of predictive indicators of vulnerability, using publicly available data relating to social, economic, political and environmental factors. 77
