Social vulnerability index for coastal communities at risk to hurricane hazard and a changing climate 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
This paper presents the development of the Coastal Community Social Vulnerability Index (CCSVI) in order to quantify the social
vulnerability of hurricane-prone areas under various scenarios of climate change. The 2004–2005 Atlantic hurricane seasons
is estimated to have caused 150 billion dollars in damages, and in recent years, the annual hurricane damage in the United States is estimated at around150 billion dollars in damages, and in recent years, the annual hurricane damage in the United
States is estimated at around 6 billion. Hurricane intensity or/and frequency may change due to the increase in sea surface
temperature as a result of climate change. Climate change is also predicted to cause a rise in sea levels, potentially resulting
in higher storm surges. The CCSVI combines the intensity of hurricanes and hurricane-induced surge to create a comprehensive
index that considers the effects of a changing climate. The main contributing factors of social vulnerability (such as race,
age, gender, and socioeconomic status) in hurricane-prone areas are identified through a principal components analysis. The
impact of social characteristics on the potential hurricane damage under various scenarios of climate change are evaluated
using Miami-Dade County, Florida, as a case study location. This study finds that climate change may have a significant impact
on the CCSVI. 相似文献

This study evaluates the effects of climate change on agriculture in Northern Norway. It is based on downscaled climate projections for six different municipalities combined with interviews with farmers, advisors and administrative personnel in these municipalities. The projections document large climatic differences both between and within the different municipalities. The main predicted climatic changes include increasing temperatures and precipitation as well as increased frequency of certain types of extreme weather events. Despite challenges such as unstable winters, increased autumn precipitation and possibly more weeds and diseases, a prolongation of the current short growth season together with higher growth temperatures can give new opportunities for agriculture here. The impacts are expected to differ both within and between municipalities and will require tailored adaptive strategies. Most of these however should pose no difficulty implementing, having an agronomical basis that farmers are accustomed to cope with. 相似文献
