dc.description.abstract	No matter how robust mitigation measures are, a certain degree of climate change is inevitable due to historical emissions and the inertia of the climate system. However, most adaptation activities need to take effect immediately. The presentation provides an analytical framework for vulnerability assessment, which includes identifying conditions or exposures that are pertinent to a community, and assessing the adaptive capacity of the community to deal with these exposures. Two types of adaptation are distinguished in the framework: facilitation and implementation.	en
