Description Vulnerability assessments can play a vital role in the design of appropriate adaptation and mitigation policies targeted towards climate
change and its impacts on ecosystems, and those who depend upon these resources for their livelihoods and wellbeing.
Vulnerability is
often reflected in the state of the economic system as well as the socioeconomic
features of the population living in that system. The
current paper attempts to build a picture of the socioeconomic
context of vulnerability by focusing on indicators that measure both the
state of development of the people as well as its capacity to progress further. The result of agricultural vulnerability index suggests
indicators like cropping intensity, gross irrigated area and commercial crop area that are the major drivers in determining the
vulnerability of districts of Karnataka. The socioeconomic
index depicts indicators like per capital income, population density and
percentage of literacy rate that are the major drivers and contribute to the overall livelihood vulnerability of districts.
