Vulnerability,Adaptation, and Mitigation.
- Vulnerability
- the level to which a system is susceptible to, or unable
to withstand, the adverse effects of climate change,
incluiding climate variability and extreme events,
Vulnerability is a function of the character, magnitud,
and speed of the climatic variation rhat a system is
exposed to.
- Vulnerability in Honduras: National and international experts rank
Honduras among the 5 countries most vulnerable to the effect of
climate change. Honduras has suffered from the year 1931 to the
present more than 60 extreme climatic events between flood,
storms, landslide,guides, earthquakes etc.
- Factors that contribute to increased vulnerability: 1. Greenhouse gases. 2.Climate
change and hydrological cycle. 3. Essence of a forest policy 4. Lack of energy
solutions for the rural population 5. Forest weakened by fire.

- Mitigation
- The impact of climate change is one of the biggest challenges in the year
to come, the action, until now has been slow and insufficient in relation
tothe needs , mitigation includes the set of measure that aim to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions and improve sources of carbon capture.
- Events: 1. Geological, like an earthquake or tsunami. 2.
Hydrological, flood, drought. 3. Sanitary 4. Incidental
events such as: fire. 5. It is saying no to vulnerability.
- Mitigation measures: 1. Hazard mapping, 2. Flood plain mapping, 3.
Implementing and enforcing building codes, 4. Adoption and
enforcement of land use and zoning practices, 5. Reinforced tornado
safe rooms, 6. Raising of homes in flood-prone areas.

- Adaptation
- As it seems inevitable that climate change will produce significant effects, it is
essential that countries and communities take practical measures to protect
themselves from probable damage and disruption. this is what is known in
international jargon with the term adaptation.
- Adaptation to climate chanfe is a long-term, integrated and continuous
process. its purpose is to reduce vulnerability by promoting sustainable
development, adaptation involves adjusting to the climate, regardless of
weather it is due to climate change, climatic variability or specific events.
- Adaptation measures: 1.using scare water resources more efficiently. 2.
adapting building codes to future climate conditions, 3. building flood
defences and raising levels the levels of dykes, 4. developing
drought-tolerant crops . 5. choosing tree species and forestry practicess less
vulnerable to storms and fire, 6. setting aside land corridors to help species
migrate.
