Sensitivity analysis of a climate vulnerability index - a case study from Indian watershed development programmes

Abstract: Background: This paper presents a detailed analysis of a composite Climate Vulnerability Index (CVI) to examine and compare climate change vulnerability and its dimensions adaptive capacity, sensitivity and exposure. Thereby, we are mainly interested on climate change vulnerability at community-level watershed development programmes and how the different implementing agencies could help to address the problems associated with climate change in future planning and implementation. Method: The primary data used f… Show more

“…Another issue that should be addressed in any survey-based index assessment is the issue of uncertainty and sensitivity. For the CVI RFT , we were able to show the statistical significance of differences between dimensions and identify the main influencing major components that led to these differences [96].…”

“…Vulnerability is the susceptibility or inability of a system to cope with the adverse effects of climate change, including climate variability and extremes (Raghavan et al , 2018). Vulnerability depends on three components: adaptive capacity, exposure and sensitivity.…”

“…Numerous studies have been conducted on vulnerability evaluation by means of indicator-based approach for social, and physical vulnerabilities [24][25][26][27]. A composite Climate Vulnerability Index (CVI) has been used to investigate and compare climate change vulnerability, considering dimensions such as adaptive capacity, sensitivity, and exposure [28]. While exploring diverse climate change scenarios, a framework has been developed for the analysis of household and village-level resilience and vulnerability in the Bhagirathi Basin of the Indian Western Himalayan region [29].…”
