... Assessing and comparing vulnerabilities among different spaces is imperative, as those are characterized by social and spatial inequalities. The comparison allows the identification of areas presenting higher risks, as well as factors that can increase communities' resilience (Wisner et al., 2014). ...

... Climate change intensi es the occurrence of natural hazards that are deadly and costly (Wisner et al., 2004;Benevolenza & DeRigne, 2018). It is a major threat to marine ecosystems today (Chen, 2021). ...
... This negative reinforcement has been implicated in the increasing extreme vulnerability of smallholders witnessed by instances of farmer perversities, including suicides (Sadanandan 2014;Dandekar and Bhattacharya 2017). A nexus-based focus will be useful because (1) specifying how identified causes of social and economic actions are linked to consequences explains vulnerability more completely (Blaikie et al. 2014), thereby (2) enabling a fuller treatment for vulnerability reduction, and (3) it offers a means to include interconnected challenges in institutional interventions to address indebtedness, livelihoods and landholdings for the design of synergistic policies. Second, analysis of vulnerability is challenged by a growing list of root causes including race, ethnicity, family, gender, age, health, income, class, caste, clan, religion, political affiliation, livelihoods, socio-economic status, ideologies, institutions, world views, exploitation, marginalization, type of production system, infrastructure status, geographic location, physical environment and access to it, representation, political unrest and wars (Bohle, Downing, and Watts 1994;O'Brien et al. 2004;Bassett and Fogelman 2013;Blaikie et al. 2014;Ribot 2014). ...
... Dynamic factors, by contrast, occur (and change) within relatively short amounts of time and serve as catalysts or precipitants for conflict (de-)escalation (Hendrix and Glaser 2007;Kaufman 2001). Even though disasters usually make visible and aggravate (rather than discontinue) conditions that prevailed during "normal" pre-disaster times (Wisner et al. 2004), they can cause some rapid developments that influence conflict risks (Brzoska 2019;Gawronski and Olson 2013; see also chapter 2). ...
