The vulnerability of a specific region is defined as:
“…the expected damage as resulting from the expected environmental perturbations in view of the expected transformation and adaptation processes.”
(Corell, Cramer & Schellnhuber, 2001)
“…the expected damage as resulting from the expected environmental perturbations in view of the expected transformation and adaptation processes.”

Numerical modells for VULNERABILITY:• V = f ( E, S, AC ), but presently there is no applicable, sofisticated equation for vulnerability Importance of Data integration:
• Qualitative findings (e.g. trough stakeholder dialog)• Quantitative information, projection of different indicators
• Fuzzy Logic decision tree using qualitative and quantitative variables are needed
• State of the Practice: graphical combination using visual interpretation techniques (e.g. blend-technique)
• Modelling with qualitative differential equations is possible if understandable patterns occur

Vulnerability index (necessity and demand):
(spatial) comparisions of regions
temporal course (for the next 5, 10, 50, ... years)
comparision of scenarios
scales: low, medium, high
mono- & multicausal-analysis: combination of indicators
simplification, but access to detailed information at all time
sectoral und user specific
utilisation through scientists and decision makers

During the workshop discussions, we will focus on identifying the following:•key processes that influence vulnerability; •key indicators of vulnerability;•intersections and interactions among different stressors;•the common denominators of vulnerability; and•potential policy interventions to reduce vulnerability.
Questions related to vulnerability case studies:1 To what extent is human security presently at risk in your case study region?2.Which stressors currently threaten human security in this region? Are these stressors endogenous or exogenous to the region?3. How do these stressors interact and thereby either reinforce each other or reduce the cumulative risk?4. How might future societal and environmental changes influence future human security in the region? Is either the nature of the threats or the relative importance of various stressors expected to change?5. What factors shape the capacity of this region to adapt to these potential future changes?
