TL;DR: The framework presented enhances the discussion on how to frame and link vulnerability, disaster risk, risk management and adaptation concepts and shows key linkages between the different concepts used within the disaster risk management (DRM) and climate change adaptation research.

TL;DR: The method not only enables the assessment of vulnerability independent from administrative boundaries, but also applies an aggregation mode which reflects homogenous vulnerability units, which supports decision makers to reflect on complex issues such as vulnerability.

TL;DR: By decomposing identified vulnerability “hotspots” into their underlying factors, this approach provides valuable information on both the location of neighborhoods, and (2) vulnerability factors that should be given priority in the context of targeted intervention strategies, to help to reduce the burden of vector-borne diseases.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the goals and functions of scenarios in general and reflect on the current global debate around shared socio-economic pathways (SSPs), and examine the options and constraints of scenario methods for risk and vulnerability assessments in the context of climate change and natural hazards.

TL;DR: The aim is to identify causes for knowledge fragmentation at different phases in the disaster management continuum, and to strengthen both individual and institutional learning, as well as to determine social and functional changes required to address pressing issues of disaster risk reduction, including climate change adaptation, in a competent manner.
