International Journal of Conservation Science, 4(3), 357-369.2067-533Xhttp://hdl.handle.net/10625/52499When a system loses resilience it becomes vulnerable. Assessing the vulnerability of an ecosystem facing multiple hazards is problematic for researchers. The White Bandama Basin (WBB) in Northern Côte d'Ivoire is one of the most vulnerable areas to climate change with drought as the most important risk factor. The environmental Vulnerability Index (EVI) captures and quantifies total environmental vulnerability of a region. Applied to the Badama Basin, the EVI identified vulnerability to climate change arising from water resources/agriculture and fisheries, whereas the anthropogenic factors involve population growth, resources conflicts, waste treatment and density.Text1 digital file (p. 357-369)Application/pdfenANTHROPOGENICBANDAMABASINSENVIRONMENTALINDICESVULNERABILITYENVIRONMENTAL VULNERABILITY INDEXCLIMATE CHANGEJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
