摘要:
A comprehensive assessment of climate change vulnerability is imperative for formulating effective adaptation strategies and advancing sustainable development *** one of the most climate-vulnerable regions globally,the Pan-Third Pole area lacks transnational vulnerability assessments,which poses a significant obstacle to efficient climate *** study conducted transnational comparisons based on primary micro-survey data collected uniformly across Nepal,Cambodia,Thailand,and Myanmar,which are all located in the Pan-Third Pole *** and comparing the vulnerabilities employed an extended framework of climate change *** findings reveal substantial variations in vulnerability among the countries,with Cambodia exhibiting the highest vulnerability,followed by Thailand,Myanmar,and Nepal in descending order,primarily due to differences in *** exposure to climate change also varied *** scores decreased in the order of Nepal>Cambodia>Thailand>Myanmar,with demographic factors,tap water accessibility,and land being the major contributors and sources of differentiation among the *** adaptability,Thailand demonstrated the highest adaptability,with human and financial capital as the key *** outcomes underscore the need for tailored policy measures addressing the diverse vulnerabilities,including enhancing household disaster prevention and capital ***,targeted international investments are crucial for improving adaptability among smallholders in this unique region.
