9. Key Components: Vulnerability
Vulnerability is a function of the character, magnitude, and rate of climate
change and variation in which a system is EXPOSED, it's SENSITIVITY, and
its ADAPTIVE CAPACITY (IPCC 2007a, p21)

Frameworks 101
๏ Vulnerability context influences availability of assets
๏ Access to assets determines level of resilience and adaptive capacity

14. Learning Methods and Tools
Participatory Scenario Development (PSD)
๏ Identify effects of alternative
scenarios
๏ Determine how stakeholders view
alternatives
๏ Identify effective and equitable
interventions with legitimacy and
local ownership

15. Learning Methods and Tools
Participatory Scenario Development (PSD)
๏ Emphasizes local knowledge
๏ Stresses the importance of good
governance
๏ Provides a context for understanding
vulnerability and a basis for holistic
responses

16. Review and Lessons learned (1)
Participants found the interactive
exercises extremely valuable (LiF,
interaction with colleagues, slower pace)
Disaggregation of content and audience
is necessary (homogeneous region, sector,
capacity, needs)
It is important to distinguish between
breadth and depth of content

17. Review and Lessons learned (2)
From Principles to Practice (In search of
practical innovation and case studies)
Specific training require specific tools
and tailored methods (preparation and build-
up is key)

18. Review and Lessons learned (3)
Intrinsic, incentives and instrumental value
From the margins to the mainstream?
Where are the people?
