Vulnerability and Human Well-being; Report of a workshop in preparation of GEO-4
This report explores different concepts of human vulnerability in relation to global environmental change and human well-being. It presents the results of a three day workshop on ‘Vulnerability and Human Well-Being’ organised in January 2005. The meeting facilitated the development of a chapter on ‘Challenges and Opportunities’ in UNEPs Global Environment Outlook 4 (GEO-4). Different concepts of vulnerability and regional case studies were presented and also the issues of poverty, health, governance, science & technology and trade (issues UNEP considers important for inclusion in this chapter) were elaborated on.
The Global Environmental Outlook (GEO) is the United Nations Environmental Programme’s (UNEP) flagship assessment report series. Early 2005 the fourth report (GEO-4) was in the making, to be published in 2007.
