Tebeck, Marina Harten, Sven reducing climate risk sub-national index CC-BY For policies and programs aiming at reducing climate risk, it is important to obtain vulnerability information at the sub-national level to identify hotspots. For the case of Costa Rica, no sub-national climate vulnerability index exists to date. To fill this gap, we constructed a climate vulnerability index at the canton level. We ground our work in the conceptual framework that vulnerability is a function of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. Making extensive use of geographic information systems and publicly available data, we constructed 13 spatial layers to reflect the multi-dimensionality of vulnerability. Layers reflect for example, changes in climatic extremes, flood risk, vegetation cover, access to infrastructure (road density) and health services (distance to hospitals), as well as various socioeconomic (wealth level, employment rates, remittances, literacy rate) and demographic (infant mortality) characteristics. 2023-08-04T04:38:22Z 2023-08-04T04:38:22Z 2023 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13412-023-00831- https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/8673 vi application/pdf Springer
