Abstract
Johanna Johnson developed a semi-quantitative vulnerability assessment tool that can be used to inform adaptation to climate change. She used an IPCC conceptual framework and developed a novel 10-step method with indicators and criteria to assess vulnerability. The method was applied to different contexts and results used to target adaptation actions.
