Résumé : |
In addition to current climate variability, climate change already poses great risks to several countries all over the world. Many stakeholders have expressed a growing need for climate vulnerability assessments (CVAs) to develop strategies to adapt to the potential impacts of climate change. Looking for a standardized approach, consistent with the IPCC definition of vulnerability (2007), GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit) proposes the impact chain concept for CVAs’ implementation. Advancement in geo-information sciences had also raised stakeholders’ expectations, leading to integrate a mapping component into CVAs’ methodologies, for a better understanding and visualization of vulnerabilities’ spatial distribution. Although GIZ devised an acknowledged method[...]
In addition to current climate variability, climate change already poses great risks to several countries all over the world. Many stakeholders have expressed a growing need for climate vulnerability assessments (CVAs) to develop strategies to adapt to the potential impacts of climate change. Looking for a standardized approach, consistent with the IPCC definition of vulnerability (2007), GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit) proposes the impact chain concept for CVAs’ implementation. Advancement in geo-information sciences had also raised stakeholders’ expectations, leading to integrate a mapping component into CVAs’ methodologies, for a better understanding and visualization of vulnerabilities’ spatial distribution. Although GIZ devised an acknowledged methodology, the process of translating the impact chain conceptual model towards a numerical model for a mapping assessment is proving to be challenging. The purpose of this report is therefore to respond to the lack of critical review, by highlighting CVAs’ issues in their conceptualization and implementation, surveying and proposing alternatives in order to ensure more robustness of future CVAs. A step-by-step review of the CVA’s underlying concepts of indicators normalization, aggregation and weighting is proposed, through the implementation of a case study aiming to assess Bangladesh agricultural sector’s vulnerability to water resources scarcity. Critical insights into scientific concepts of indicators management and technical skills in GIS have been necessary to enhance relevance and robustness of provided vulnerability maps. The motivation of this report is finally to raise discussions and attention on the subject of vulnerability assessments implementation in order to foster adaptation to climate change.
