Social Aspects
Social Aspects
Geographic location determines vulnerability

Climate change is projected to increase the frequency and intensity of extreme

weather events
Social Aspects
Affects communities that revolve around agriculture, tourism, etc.

Threatens natural resources

Social Aspects
Increases expenses

Makes cost of living higher
