Description Not Available
The last decade of the 20th century saw two important developments: the establishment of
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1992 and the commencement of
the World Trade Organization in 1995. Both these 'events' have significant implications to the
way the nations pursue their development goals, especially the developing countries. Various
agencies involved in and concerned with economic development have these two aspects on their
activity agenda and the researchers are no exception. An important area of research that received
attention from different backgrounds is related to vulnerability and its assessment. The term
'vulnerability' has been used in many different contexts and with different meanings and often
without even defining the world. Timmermann (1981) observed that “vulnerability is a term of
such broad use as to be almost useless for careful description at the present, except as a rhetorical
indicator of areas of greatest concern". The term is often used synonymously with susceptibility,
fragility, resilience, adaptability, coping capacity, sensitivity, etc. It is important to have a clear
understanding of the concept and meaning of vulnerability
