This reference sheet outlines key variables and recommended response actions for assessing climate change vulnerability in coastal and marine ecosystems using the Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment (CCVA) framework. The table is organized into core components—exposure, Sensitivity (Ecological and Social), Adaptive Capacity (Ecological and Social), and Governance—each detailing specific factors that influence resilience. For each variable, potential strategies are suggested to help communities and decision-makers adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
