Climate Vulnerability Monitor
open-in-new
<p>The Climate Vulnerability Monitor (CVM) is an independent global assessment of the <a href="/facts/Effects_of_global_warming/M5EvHf14">effect of climate change</a> on the world's populations brought together by panels of key international authorities. The Monitor was launched in December 2010 in <a href="/facts/London/KozCCsy9">London</a> and <a href="/facts/Cancun/kEb3fr8K">Cancun</a> to coincide with the UN <a href="/facts/2010_United_Nations_Climate_Change_Conference/RrMXKLj3">Cancun Summit</a> on climate change (COP-16). Developed by <a href="/facts/DARA_(international_organization)/TRIEdEny">DARA</a> and the <a href="/facts/Climate_Vulnerable_Forum/Xyd7LeRr">Climate Vulnerable Forum</a>, the report is meant to serve as a new tool to assess global vulnerability to various <a href="/facts/Effects_of_climate_change/M5EvHf14">effects of climate change</a> within different nations. </p><p>The report distills leading science and research for a clearer explanation of how and where <a href="/facts/Population/ArxshNuB">populations</a> are being affected by climate change today (2010) and in the near future (2030), while pointing to key actions that reduce these impacts. </p><p><a href="/facts/DARA_(international_organization)/TRIEdEny">DARA</a> and the <a href="/facts/Climate_Vulnerable_Forum/Xyd7LeRr">Climate Vulnerable Forum</a> launched the 2nd edition of the Climate Vulnerability Monitor on 26 September 2012 at the <a href="/facts/Asia_Society/Jf5CqMh5">Asia Society</a>, New York. </p>
