In this Short Communication, we raise the concern that the existing conceptualization of 'vulnerability', introduced in the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), is not facilitative for standalone vulnerability assessments and that this conceptualization has not been well accepted by the vulnerability researchers. We identify three key reasons for low adoption of the AR5 conceptualization in climate change vulnerability assessments, and urge the IPCC Working Group II to clarify how the current conceptualization of 'vulnerability' can facilitate standalone climate change vulnerability assessments. We propose treating 'exposure' not only as a precondition for vulnerability but also as a secondary driver of vulnerability to capture the influence of differential exposure.
在这篇简讯中，我们提出了一个关注，即：在政府间气候变化专门委员会第五次评估报告（AR5）中引入的现有“脆弱性”概念，不利于独立的脆弱性评估，并且这一概念并未被脆弱性研究人员所接受。我们确定了气候变化脆弱性评估中低采用 AR5 概念化的三个关键原因，并敦促政府间气候变化专门委员会第二工作组阐明当前“脆弱性”概念如何有助于独立的气候变化脆弱性评估。我们建议不仅将“暴露”视为脆弱性的前提条件，而且还将其视为脆弱性的次要驱动因素，以捕捉不同暴露的影响。
