  • Vulnerability Assessment ( Executive Summary)
    Executive Summary A project "Reducing vulnerability to extreme floods and climate change in the Dniester River basin" was one of EExxeeccuuttiivvee the pilot projects under the program of adaptation to climate change in the transboundary basins, carried out in accordance with the UNECE SSuummmmaarryy Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes. The Convention is considering the climate change not only as a challenge to mankind, but also as one of the drivers of trans- boundary cooperation, which can be the starting point in activities to im- prove relations between the riparian countries. A joint analysis of prob- lems, priorities and solutions as the determining factor of transboundary cooperation, defined the agenda and methods to execute the task of a pro- ject. Harmonization of efforts of the executors from Ukraine and Moldova, as well as used means, models and scenarios, information exchange and the increased using of results of re- searches, projects and programs in the field of a studied problem have determined the format and content of a present report. 1 Executive Summary 1. Methodological approaches to assessment of vulnerability The assessment of vulnerability to climate change of the Dniester River basin is based on the Concept of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2007a) which provides differentiation between three main components of vulnerability: expo- sure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity. Exposure in this triad is determined by nature, magnitude and the rate of climate change represented by the long-term observed or expected changes in the climatic conditions. Sensitivity determines the extent to which the system is sensitive, positive or negative, to the direct or indirect impact of climate change.
