 ↪ The article "Global Exposure to Climate Change at a Subnational Jurisdiction Level" is published in World Development Sustainability. In this article, the authors Goujon M., Santoni O., and Wagner L. assess the exposure of territories to the main consequences of climate change, considering both the intensity and the level of physical exposure to the principal climate risks. This article is based on data and calculations from the indicator of physical vulnerability to climate change

↪ The multidimensional vulnerability index was discussed at COP28. FERDI organised a parallel session in partnership with the Overseas Countries and Territories Association (OCTA), the Green Overseas programme, the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OEACP), and the UK Overseas Territories Association (UKOTA). The session focused on the role of the Multidimensional Vulnerability Index (MVI) in mobilizing financing to strengthen resilience. 

Index of Physical Vulnerability to Climate Change (PVCCI)

The PVCCI measures the geophysical risks faced by countries as a result of climate change.

Created in 2012, this indicator is subject to regular adjustments. In 2021, FERDI has proposed the measurement of the physical vulnerability to climate change indicator at the regional and micro-regional level.
