🔆 Climate Change: Sensitivity, Adaptability and Vulnerability ✅ Sensitivity: - Sensitivity refers to the extent a system is impacted by climate-related changes. - It includes the response to changes in temperature or extreme weather events (e.g., crop yield changes due to temperature or coastal flooding due to sea level rise). ✅ Adaptive Capacity: - Adaptive capacity refers to a system's ability to adjust to climate change, including variability and extremes. - This ability helps to manage potential damage and take advantage of opportunities or cope with the effects of climate changes. ✅ Vulnerability: - Vulnerability describes the degree to which a system is susceptible to, or unable to cope with, adverse effects of climate change. - It depends on the magnitude, rate, and variation of climate change and its sensitivity and adaptive capacity. 📍 Conclusion: - Sensitivity, adaptability, and vulnerability form the three key factors that determine how a system will respond to climate change, with each factor influencing the overall resilience of the system.
