Who are the e-Learning modules for?
How were they developed? The e-Learning modules are designed for disaster risk reduction (DRR) practitioners. This includes practitioners within CARE, as well as our civil society and government partner organizations.
They were developed by Raks Thai Foundation and CARE, with significant inputs from CARE experts on climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction, and most importantly from practitioners engaged in DRR initiatives in Country Offices across the Asia Pacific Region, as well as in Raks Thai Foundation.
Practitioner perspectives were gathered through two workshops. An initial workshop was conducted to develop the overall framework and brainstorm on key content. In the second workshop, the draft modules were tested and feedback was gathered. The current version reflects inputs from both workshops.
The modules reflect CARE’s current thinking on integrating adaptation in DRR initiatives. They should be considered as working versions. Our approach will be tested and refined as we develop more experience in this area.
Please send any feedback on these modules to Bruce Ravesloot: ravesloot@careclimatechange.org

You can move through the module at your own pace. We estimate that this module will take you approximately 1 hour to complete.
However, everyone learns at a different speed, so you should feel comfortable moving at your own pace.
The map on the right helps you to track your progress through the module. Where you are will be highlighted in orange.
We recommend that you go through the module in sequence, however you will have the option of jumping forwards or backwards by clicking on the map. At any point, you can go back to the previous slide by clicking the back arrow. Use the forward arrow to move through the module.

e-Learning Module 2
Understanding vulnerability

Learning Objective for Module 2 The learning objective for this module is to build understanding of the concept of vulnerability as it is used in disaster risk reduction (DRR) and in climate change adaptation.
Vulnerability is a core concept in DRR and adaptation, and must be understood in order to move forward in learning about the two approaches.
The main issues covered in this module are shown in the map. Introduction Climate change & vulnerability Gender & vulnerability Dynamic vulnerability Vulnerability to what? Vulnerability factors Practical example Knowledge Review

As we learned in Module 1, both adaptation and DRR focus on reducing vulnerability.
Module 2 focuses on building understanding of vulnerability. To review from Module 1:
Climate change makes disaster risk reduction even more important.
With the exception of geophysical hazards, climate change affects all types of natural hazards.
Vulnerability to climate change and disasters:
Depends on exposure to hazards.
Is determined by human, social, physical, natural, political and financial factors.
Varies within communities and even within households.
More capacity means less vulnerability. Introduction Climate change & vulnerability Gender & vulnerability Dynamic vulnerability Vulnerability to what? Vulnerability factors Practical example Knowledge Review

When thinking about vulnerability, it can be important to consider the question, “vulnerability to what?”. Different people have varying degrees of vulnerability to different hazards.
What people are vulnerable to depends on where they live and how they gain their livelihoods. It can also depend on how poor they are, how much power they have and their status in their household or community.
This means that vulnerability can vary within communities and even within households.
In this module, we’ll explore vulnerability to climate change and disasters. This broad term encompasses vulnerability to current and future climate hazards, as well as other hazards that are not climate-related. Introduction Climate change & vulnerability Gender & vulnerability Dynamic vulnerability Vulnerability to what? Vulnerability factors Practical example Knowledge Review

To understand vulnerability, we must look at the full range of hazards that people are exposed to.
We must also look how hazards interact. People may be exposed to a range of different hazards. For example, a community may be exposed to both drought and to heavy rainfall events. With climate change impacts on rainfall patterns, these events may become more frequent or more severe.
A community suffering from a drought is likely to be grappling with food insecurity and limitations in access to water for domestic and productive uses, among other negative effects. These negative effects place the community in a vulnerable position, particularly if the drought is followed by heavy rains causing flooding or landslides.
Vulnerability reduction efforts must therefore consider the different hazards people are exposed to, and how these different hazards may interact with each other to exacerbate vulnerability. This is particularly important in the context of climate change. Introduction Climate change & vulnerability Gender & vulnerability Dynamic vulnerability Vulnerability to what? Vulnerability factors Practical example Knowledge Review

Let’s consider the different factors that may contribute to vulnerability to climate change and disasters. Click on the different types of factors

Think about a community that you work in. Can you identify an example of each of these different types of factors that contribute to vulnerability to climate change and disasters? Introduction Climate change & vulnerability Gender & vulnerability Dynamic vulnerability Vulnerability to what? Vulnerability factors Practical example Knowledge Review

Let’s think about vulnerability to climate change and disasters using a practical example. As you examine the photo, think about the different factors that may make the people living in the orange and blue houses vulnerable to climate change and disasters. Introduction Climate change & vulnerability Gender & vulnerability Dynamic vulnerability Vulnerability to what? Vulnerability factors Practical example Knowledge Review

Vulnerability is a function of exposure to hazards. Which family do you think has higher exposure to flood hazards – the one living in the blue house, or the one living in the orange house?
Click on the house below to indicate your response. Introduction Climate change & vulnerability Gender & vulnerability Dynamic vulnerability Vulnerability to what? Vulnerability factors Practical example Knowledge Review

Vulnerability is determined by human, social, physical, natural, political and financial factors. In the orange house lives a family of four. The man of the house works for a company that builds roads, and he is away during the dry season. The woman of the house has a small rice field and grows some vegetables on another plot. She sells any surplus at the local market. Their two children attend the village school.

In the blue house lives a family of three. The man of the house died five years ago. The woman of the house grows vegetables in a small kitchen garden. She rarely has a surplus, and sometimes the family faces a shortage of rice. Her son attends the village school, while the daughter stays home to help out around the house. REFLECTION
What does this tell you about the relative vulnerability of these two families? What types of factors are at play? Introduction Climate change & vulnerability Gender & vulnerability Dynamic vulnerability Vulnerability to what? Vulnerability factors Practical example Knowledge Review

Climate change can affect exposure to hazard events. In the past, to plan a DRR action to reduce the vulnerability of the families in these two houses to flooding, you would typically look at the extent, frequency and impacts of past flood events and plan your action on this basis.
Climate change means that we can’t expect that things will happen as they have in the past.
For example, if the region shown in the photo is likely to experience more frequent heavy rain events, it could mean that flooding will happen more often. If these heavy rain events involve more rain than in the past, the flooding could be more extensive than before.
Each of these scenarios will change the exposure of the families living in these two houses to flooding. To effectively reduce vulnerability to disasters, we need to consider future climate scenarios as well as past events. Introduction Climate change & vulnerability Gender & vulnerability Dynamic vulnerability Vulnerability to what? Vulnerability factors Practical example Knowledge Review

Climate change can also affect vulnerability to hazard events. In addition to increasing exposure to hazard events, the impacts of climate change may also affect vulnerability to these hazards.
Increased frequency and intensity of hazard events means that people have less time to recover between different events. It may also mean that people’s traditional coping mechanisms may no longer be effective, resulting in a downward spiral of vulnerability.
There is also the effect of changing conditions caused by climate change, such as shifting rainfall patterns or temperature changes. These smaller, slower changes do not qualify as hazard events, but they can have a significant impact on people’s livelihoods, for example through reduced crop yields or negative health impacts. These effects in turn can lead to increased their vulnerability over time. Introduction Climate change & vulnerability Gender & vulnerability Dynamic vulnerability Vulnerability to what? Vulnerability factors Practical example Knowledge Review To effectively reduce vulnerability to disasters, we need to consider how climate change may affect vulnerability to hazard events.

Let’s return to the orange house by the river.
Where does climate change fit in to this scenario? Climate change could mean that flooding of the river reaches heights it has not reached in the past, or that floods happen more frequently.
It could also mean less rain overall, resulting in drier dry seasons.
What does this mean for the man and the woman of the orange house in terms of the effects of the flood and their responses? Understanding vulnerability to climate change: Insights from application of CARE’s Climate Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis (CVCA) Methodology Introduction Climate change & vulnerability Gender & vulnerability Dynamic vulnerability Vulnerability to what? Vulnerability factors Practical example Knowledge Review

Gender inequality is an important social factor contributing to vulnerability to climate change and disasters. Gender inequality exists when women, girls, boys and men do not experience equal enjoyment of rights, opportunities, resources and rewards.
Gender, along with class and race, determines the roles, power and access to/control over resources for females and males in any culture.
These are important factors in determining vulnerability. When analyzing vulnerability, we must consider
the gender dimensions.
Often, women and men are not equally vulnerable,
even if they live in the same house. Introduction Climate change & vulnerability Gender & vulnerability Dynamic vulnerability Vulnerability to what? Vulnerability factors Practical example Knowledge Review

Women are often particularly vulnerable due to their roles, power and rights in their households and communities. Experience has shown that women are often particularly vulnerable to climate change and disasters. This may be true for a number of different reasons, including:
Women are often responsible for household food, water and fuel, all of which may be more difficult to secure in times of crisis.
In many contexts, women have less power to make decisions about household livelihoods and less control over important resources such as land. This places them at a disadvantage when it comes to risk management.
There is a tendency for women to be under-represented in community affairs, including development of disaster risk reduction plans. This means that these plans may not respond to women’s needs and priorities.
However, this is not to say that all women are vulnerable, or that men are not vulnerable. What is important is to understand who is vulnerable, to what, and why. Gender often plays a role in this. Introduction Climate change & vulnerability Gender & vulnerability Dynamic vulnerability Vulnerability to what? Vulnerability factors Practical example Knowledge Review

Let’s go back again to the orange house to explore the
gender dimensions of vulnerability. In the orange house by the river, there is a man and a woman.
Imagine that a flood has just occurred.
Do you think that the man and the woman of the house will be affected equally?
Will they experience the flood in the same ways?
Will they respond in the same ways?
Why or why not? Introduction Climate change & vulnerability Gender & vulnerability Dynamic vulnerability Vulnerability to what? Vulnerability factors Practical example Knowledge Review

Vulnerability is a dynamic concept. People’s vulnerability to different hazards changes over time. This is particularly true in the context of a changing climate.
Climate change means that climate- and weather-related hazards are more likely to occur, may be more serious, and may occur in places that they have never occurred before. It also means that there is increased uncertainty around hazards.
The best place to start is by understanding the current situation with respect to vulnerability. Then you can consider how the situation will change with the impacts of climate change. This will move you towards solutions that are effective in the short term and sustainable in the long term.
It’s also extremely important to monitor changes in vulnerability over time. Introduction Climate change & vulnerability Gender & vulnerability Dynamic vulnerability Vulnerability to what? Vulnerability factors Practical example Knowledge Review

Let’s review the key learning points for this module. Different people have varying degrees of vulnerability to different hazards.
Vulnerability is determined by human, social, physical, natural, political and financial factors.
To effectively reduce vulnerability to disasters, we need to consider future climate scenarios as well as past events. We must also consider how climate change may affect vulnerability to hazard events over time.
When analyzing vulnerability, we must consider the gender dimensions. Often, women and men are not equally vulnerable, even if they live in the same house.
Vulnerability is a dynamic concept – it changes over time and in relation to different hazards. Introduction Climate change & vulnerability Gender & vulnerability Dynamic vulnerability Vulnerability to what? Vulnerability factors Practical example Knowledge Review
