The vulnerability of Australian rural communities to climate variability and change: Part I-Conceptualising and measuring vulnerability
论文题名译名
澳大利亚农村社区对气候变化的脆弱性：第一部分——脆弱性的概念化和衡量
摘要
Vulnerability is a term frequently used to describe the potential threat to rural communities
posed by climate variability and change. Despite growing use of the term, analytical
measures of vulnerability that are useful for prioritising and evaluating policy responses
are yet to evolve. Demand for research capable of prioritising adaptation responses has
evolved rapidly with an increasing awareness of climate change and its potential impacts on
rural communities. Research into the climate-related vulnerability of Australian rural
communities is only just beginning to emerge. Current research is dominated by hazard/
impact modelling, drawing on a heritage of managing the risks posed by seasonal climate
variability. There is a natural tendency to use the same risk management approach to
understand the emergent nature of vulnerability. In this paper, we explore the consequences for policy advice of imperfectly examining vulnerability through the lens of an
impact/hazard modelling approach to risk management. In a second paper in this series, we
show how hazard/impact modelling can be complemented with more holistic measures of
adaptive capacity to provide quantitative insights into the vulnerability of Australian rural
communities to climate variability and change.
中文摘要
脆弱性是一个经常用来描述对农村社区的潜在威胁的术语气候变异和变化造成的。尽管这个词的使用越来越多，但分析有助于优先考虑和评估政策响应的脆弱性度量尚待发展。对能够优先考虑适应反应的研究的需求随着人们对气候变化及其对农村社区。澳大利亚农村与气候相关的脆弱性研究社区才刚刚开始出现。目前的研究以危害为主/影响建模，借鉴管理季节性气候带来的风险的传统易变性。自然倾向于使用相同的风险管理方法理解脆弱性的突发性。在本文中，我们通过风险管理的影响/危害建模方法。在本系列的第二篇论文中，我们展示如何用更全面的措施来补充危险/影响建模对澳大利亚农村脆弱性提供定量见解的适应性能力社区对气候变异和变化的反应。
