Climate risk · Rationale

Climate sensitivity

Climate vulnerability component, comprising the degree to which a system, species, or activity is affected, beneficially or adversely, by a given change in climate conditions or by a climate hazard. Named in full to avoid collision with the physical-science term climate sensitivity, which denotes the warming response to a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
