Our presentation Initial comments Our approach • The need for a vision • The vulnerability model • The need for theory • Vulnerability in the context and its role of climate change • Some methodological • Dealing with the considerations complexities of vulnerability 2 IAI Workshop on Integration of Knowledge for Global Change Adaptation: Principles and Tools .

Tackling wicked problems A complex problem that defies a single approach (the need for an interdisciplinary and inter- organizational approach) and presents different options (the need for a a vision) 3 IAI Workshop on Integration of Knowledge for Global Change Adaptation: Principles and Tools .

The need for a vision: it provides direction to the research Folke et al, 2010 Pelling, 2011 • Transformative adaptation • Adaptation as transformation • Persistent adaptation • Adaptation as transition • Passive change • Adaptation as resilience 4 IAI Workshop on Integration of Knowledge for Global Change Adaptation: Principles and Tools .

Why is theory fundamental? • Reality exists as a structured complexity . • Observation is always conceptually mediated (relationships of reference and sense) 5 IAI Workshop on Integration of Knowledge for Global Change Adaptation: Principles and Tools .

Our research: climate change, vulnerability, and adaptation • How to deal with future change? • How to deal with the present and future risks associated to global change? • Could we contribute to making people resilient to the impacts of climate? 18 IAI Workshop on Integration of Knowledge for Global Change Adaptation: Principles and Tools .

The advantages of the vulnerability model • It offers a consistent framework for an interdisciplinary approach characterized by the use of different methods, • Allows for an active engagement of stakeholders, • Accommodates uncertainty, • Relevant to climatic science, and • Easily connects with decision making. 22 IAI Workshop on Integration of Knowledge for Global Change Adaptation: Principles and Tools .

Toda evaluación de la vulnerabilidad debe incluir…… • Exposición : La naturaleza y grado en que el sistema esta expuesto • Sensibilidad : El grado en que un sistema es afectado por esa exposición. El efecto puede ser directo o indirecto. • Adaptación : Los ajustes de un sistema para adaptarse a un nuevo ambiente • Capacidad adaptativa : La habilidad de un sistema para ajustarse al cambio, la variabilidad y los extremos climáticos, para moderar daños potenciales, para sacar partido de las oportunidades y para hacer frente a sus consecuencias. 25 IAI Workshop on Integration of Knowledge for Global Change Adaptation: Principles and Tools .
