It was produced in collaboration with the Wesleyan University, Joint Global Change Research Insitute, University of Illinois and the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN). Purpose: To provide geographical portraits of vulnerability designed to incorporate both exposure to climate change and national capacities to adapt.
