Summary:
The Baltic Climate Vulnerability Assessment Framework was put together within the project Baltic Challenges and Chances for local and regional development generated by Climate Change. The purpose of the framework is to guide and assist the Target Areas (TA) within the project in mapping and analysing the challenges and chances created by climate change.

This exercise will summarize the results from the previous exercises in a way that assess the TA´s vulnerability in an integrated way. The integration will be made both in terms of the three key elements of vulnerability to climate variation and change: exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity, and across the implementation case themes. This will enable you to identify areas (spatial and organizational) of special concern, areas where vulnerability is relatively low, and areas where there are good opportunities to capitalize.
