The definition below refers to Adaptation to Climate Change.
Contents
Definitions
European Definitions
RESIN project
The RESIN project [1] gives the following definition:
The degree to which a system or species is affected, either adversely or beneficially, by climate variability or change. The effect may be direct...or indirect. [2]
The IPPC's risk framework considers Vulnerability to be comprised of sensitivity and Adaptive Capacity.
Other International Definitions
National Definitions
Germany
Sensitivity denotes the extent to which a natural or artificial system can be influenced by climate change. Some changes act directly, others indirectly. [3]
Nepal
Sensitivity: The degree to which a system is affected, either adversely or beneficially, by climate-related stimuli. [4]
Rwanda
Sensitivity determines the degree to which a system is adversely or beneficially affected by a given climate change exposure. [5]
United Kingdom (UK)
Sensitivity – in the context of climate change, the degree to which a system is affected, either adversely or beneficially, by climate variability or change. [6]
United States
NIST
Sensitivity is a measure of the importance assigned to information by its owner, for the purpose of denoting its need for protection. (from: NIST SP 800-30) [7]
Sensitivity is the degree to which an IT system or application requires protection (to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability) which is determined by an evaluation of the nature and criticality of the data processed, the relation of the system to the organization missions and the economic value of the system components.(from: NIST SP 800-16) [7]
