Introduction

This video explains a study mapping social vulnerability to climate change in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area. The speaker, an expert in climate change, details the methodology used, which focuses on identifying vulnerable populations and their locations before considering climate hazards themselves.

Key Takeaways

• The study uses a Manchester University methodology to assess social vulnerability to climate change, specifically focusing on flood risk.
• The methodology considers three aspects of vulnerability: adaptability, susceptibility, and increased exposure.
• 23 indicators of social vulnerability were identified for the Helsinki Metropolitan Area, including age, income, housing type, social networks, information access, and environmental quality.
• These indicators were combined to create maps illustrating vulnerability levels across the region, eventually combined with flood risk maps to pinpoint areas of greatest climate hazard.
• The video provides a link to the Climate Just website in the UK, showcasing similar methodologies and data.
