“…Furthermore, the state experienced a significant decline in monsoon-season precipitation during 1951-2013 and also observed an increased intensity and frequency of droughts [25]. Specifically, a decline in precipitation and rainy days, along with an increase in temperature, was reported from Mandla [26], and an increase in temperature was observed in Hoshangabad [27] over the past 45 years. The impact of changing climate variables will not only affect the agricultural output and food security but will also escalate competition for natural resources, which may trigger outbreaks of vector-borne diseases.…”

This study aims to assess the climate change vulnerability of forest fringe villages of Madhya Pradesh, India, and to identify the major drivers of vulnerability, which could help to develop effective adaptation strategies. A total of 325 households spread in 29 villages of Hoshangabad, and Mandla districts were chosen for primary data collection during the summer of 2015. The selection of villages and households was carried out through stratified random sampling and systematic random sampling, respectively. The vulnerability index (score) was developed and analyzed with respect to the different socioeconomic parameters. The analysis revealed that it is not the social class of a household but the economic condition, level of education, and type of occupation/livelihood of the members of a household that are significant factors influencing the vulnerability of a household. Such findings suggest that government programs need to be designed to address the welfare of all social classes in the forest fringe villages. The study has significance in terms of providing a framework for prioritizing target households for different programs related to vulnerability reduction in the forest fringe areas.Sustainability 2020, 12, 1253 2 of 17 even more vulnerable. Therefore, climate change vulnerability assessment of forest-dependent people is important to design suitable adaptation strategies [8,9].Globally, studies have attempted to establish a link between climate change and poverty, framing it in terms of vulnerabilities, accounting for one's exposure, and the capacity to adapt to climate risk [2]. The vulnerability due to climate change has three deterministic components, exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity [10]. Exposure cannot be altered much at the household level as it is a climatic variation; however, the adaptive capacity and sensitivity of people can be improved to help them cope with the climatic vulnerability and reduce the impact of exposure [11]. Moreover, the data on climate variables are at the macro level; study at the micro-level has used adaptive capacity alone to assess the vulnerability [12,13]. Adaptive capacity refers to relatively longer-term or more sustainable adjustments that can modify a system's sensitivity and exposure to a disturbance [14]. The socioeconomic status of the household influences the capacity to cope with climate change vulnerability [15,16]. However, the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report has given more emphasis to mapping and managing the risks of climate change impacts resulting from the interaction of vulnerability, exposure, and hazards, whereas the previous report emphasized managing vulnerability based on measuring exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity [2,3].In India, around two-thirds of the population live in rural areas and are predominantly dependent on climate-sensitive sectors, especially agriculture and forestry [17]. The projected mean annual temperature of India has increased by 0.51 • C per 100 years and 0.2 • C per decade , with a more pronounced increase...

“…Climate change has already had significant impacts on tiger habitats, as documented by several studies (Devi et al, 2018 ; Loucks et al, 2009 ; Mukul et al, 2019 , 2018; Rahim et al, 2015 ; Rather et al, 2020 ; Tian et al, 2014 ). These impacts encompass changes in diet, with projections indicating a decline in the availability of preferred prey (Hebblewhite et al, 2014 ; Qi et al, 2020 ).…”

“…These alterations, primarily in the form of deforestation, have proven to have a more profound impact on mammal distributions within the Eastern Himalayas than even the effects of climate change (Trisurat et al, 2015). However, climate change does exert a significant influence on mammal species, resulting in behavioural shifts, loss of suitable habitats, range expansions, and/or shifts (Gossmann Climate change has already had significant impacts on tiger habitats, as documented by several studies (Devi et al, 2018;Loucks et al, 2009;Mukul et al, 2019Mukul et al, , 2018Rahim et al, 2015;Rather et al, 2020;Tian et al, 2014).

Large mammals are susceptible to land use and climate change, unless they are safeguarded within large, protected areas. It is crucial to comprehend the effects of these changes on mammals to develop a conservation plan. We identified ecological hotspots that can sustain an ecosystem for the endangered Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris), an umbrella species. We developed three distinct ensemble species distribution models (SDMs) for the Bengal tiger in the Indian East Himalayan Region (IEHR). The first model served as the baseline and considered habitat type, climate, land cover, and anthropogenic threats. The second model focused on climate, land use, and anthropogenic threats, the third model focused on climate variables. We projected the second and third models onto two future climate scenarios: RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5. We evaluated the threats possess to protected areas within eco‐sensitive zone based on the potential tiger habitat. Finally, we compared the potential habitat with the IUCN tiger range. Our study revealed that the Brahmaputra valley will serve as the primary habitat for tigers in the future. However, considering the projected severe climate scenarios, it is anticipated that tigers will undergo a range shift towards the north and east, especially in high‐altitude regions. Very high conservation priority areas, which make up 3.4% of the total area, are predominantly located in the riverine corridor of Assam. High conservation priority areas, which make up 5.5% of total area are located in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. It is important to note that conservation priority areas outside of protected areas pose a greater threat to tigers. We recommend reassessing the IUCN Red List's assigned range map for tigers in the IEHR, as it is over‐predicted. Our study has led us to conclude both land use and climate change possess threats to the future habitat of tigers. The outcomes of our study will provide crucial information on identifying habitat hotspots and facilitate appropriate conservation planning efforts.

“…These macro-domains can determine the significant effects of the microclimate by inducing morphological and functional changes in the urban fabric. For example, the themes of the urban water system [58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68], the energy system [69][70][71][72], the green infrastructure system [73][74][75][76] under the first domain, while the demographic dimension [77][78][79][80] and the system of productive activities [81][82][83] and transport [84][85][86][87] are part of the second one. All these aspects must then be included in the local vulnerability studies.…”

Climate change is contributing to raising disaster risk, with variable impacts depending on the local level of vulnerability. This paper describes a method for the definition of local vulnerability domains to climate change. The application of the methodology is aimed at building local vulnerability maps. The set of indicators of climate exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity, theoretically identified and practically tested on two case studies in southern Italy, contributes to support the territories in identifying the main local vulnerabilities, as well as define, subsequently, a systematic framework for identifying the most suitable mitigation and adaptation measures to climate change according to the specificities of the contexts of interest. In this regard, we consider the framework of risks and related impacts due to climate change on urban infrastructure proposed by the European Commission in order to face common challenges in the EU territories. Specifically, reference is made to three thematic focuses, which are “transport infrastructures”, “energy infrastructures” and “buildings and construction sector”. Although still at an early stage, the results of the research contribute to identifying useful elements of interrelation with the urban context for guiding resilient planning choices and reducing risks.
