What does vulnerability mean in climate change?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Having higher risk of harm
In climate change, vulnerability describes how likely people, communities, ecosystems, or assets are to be harmed by climate hazards and how limited their ability is to cope or recover. Exposure, sensitivity, poverty, weak infrastructure, and limited resources can increase vulnerability. It does not mean that the Sun cools, the sea necessarily dries, or air disappears.
