Reads more like a literature review[edit]

I noticed a lot of wording like "In a literature assessment, Kundzewicz et al. (2001:643) concluded...". This to me reads more like a literature review rather than encyclopedic content. I plan to change all that over unless someone feels attached to that kind of wording? I think it came about from the content that was moved from Climate resilience which was moved by User:Sadads?

Yep, that was content pulled from another page -- so feel free to do what you need to do :) @EMsmile:-- glad I created the article though -- 1.4k pageviews in a month is not bad for a newish article -- and the concept keeps coming up in places where I didn't expect. Sadads (talk) 10:32, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've made those changes now. EMsmile (talk) 14:26, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Links to wiktionary instead[edit]

Hello Jenniferteresa1999. I noticed you inserted to wikilinks in the first sentence. Both wikilinks go to highly technical articles about fields of statistics/decision theory. I don't understand these articles, but I doubt the words in this article were meant have that exact meaning.

When you encounter difficult words, and you want a dictionary definition, rather than an encyclopedian article about a (distantly) related article, you can link to wiktionary. To do that you can type [[wikt:propensity|propensity]], which displays as propensity.

A better option may be to rewrite the first sentence altogether, to avoid difficult words. Hope that helps :). Femke (talk) 08:38, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thoughts on further improvements needed[edit]

I've spent about 2 hours on this article today and think it's a bit better now. It still needs some further TLC. I think it does not need to become a long article (as it overlaps with so many other topics). And it's not really rocket science. Basically the same people that are vulnerable to climate change effects are those that are already vulnerable to start with... But it's currently lacking some information on measurement tools and indices, as well as steps that are being taken to reduce vulnerability (I have started that section now). Also some more images would be good and the lead should be a bit longer and a better summary. There might also be other literature that should be cited, not just the IPCC AR 6 report so often.

Thanks for your work. I have added a bit to the section you mentioned. I have never heard of 'vulnerability tracking' before - I think this could simply be included into a section about indicators - but I do like the connection that is being made with monitoring and evaluation, and potentially the CCA article. It is important to know whether adaptation is reducing vulnerability. Richarit (talk) 09:35, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think the more common categorisation is biophysical vulnerability vs. social vulnerability rather than geographical vulnerability. Although the latter is an important dimension, it could be more related to exposure which is not considered part of vulnerability (any more) Richarit (talk) 18:02, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Please make that change to the names of the categories accordingly. The content/terms that are currently there is likely outdated. EMsmile (talk) 08:14, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
