Our presentation

Initial comments

  • The need for a vision
  • The need for theory

and its role

  • Some methodological

considerations Our approach

  • The vulnerability model
  • Vulnerability in the context
  • f climate change
  • Dealing with the

complexities of vulnerability

Tackling wicked problems

A complex problem that defies a single approach (the need for an interdisciplinary and inter-

  • rganizational approach) and presents different
  • ptions (the need for a a vision)

The need for a vision: it provides direction to the research

Folke et al, 2010

  • Transformative adaptation
  • Persistent adaptation
  • Passive change

Pelling, 2011

  • Adaptation as transformation
  • Adaptation as transition
  • Adaptation as resilience

Why is theory fundamental?

  • Reality exists as a structured complexity .
  • Observation is always conceptually mediated

(relationships of reference and sense)

Dialoging with theory

Evaluate existing disciplinary theories to gain insights that you could use to construct the interdisciplinary research problem. Sensitizing concepts (cloudy?)

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?

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.

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.
