Journal ArticleDOI
Energy, Poverty, and Health in Climate Change: A Comprehensive Review of an Emerging Literature.
TL;DR: This review explores literature related to household energy, poverty, and health in order to highlight the disproportionate burdens borne by vulnerable populations in adequately meeting household energy needs and creates an original heuristic model that describes energy insecurity as either acute or chronic.
Book ChapterDOI
Conceptual Frameworks of Vulnerability Assessments for Natural Disasters Reduction
TL;DR: The last few decades have demonstrated an increased concern for the occurrence of natural disasters and their consequences for leaders and organizations around the world as mentioned in this paper and the EMDAT International Disaster Database [1] statistics show that, in the last century, the mortality risk associated with major weather-related hazards has declined globally, but there has been a rapid increase in the exposure of economic assets to natural hazards.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Place-based Assessment of Flash Flood Hazard and Vulnerability in the Contiguous United States.
TL;DR: This study provides a comprehensive assessment of socio-economic vulnerability to flash floods and investigates the main characteristics of flash flood hazard, i.e. frequency, duration, severity, and magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosocial Conservation: Integrating Biological and Ethnographic Methods to Study Human–Primate Interactions
TL;DR: Three case studies demonstrate how the integration of biological and social methods can help to understand the sustainability of human–wildlife interactions, and thus promote coexistence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combining Social Vulnerability and Physical Vulnerability to Analyse Landslide Risk at the Municipal Scale
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a matrix approach to cross the classes of the social and physical vulnerabilities of the Loures municipality (Portugal) to locate the areas where the vulnerability is the highest, and to analyse the landslide risk.
