• Developing Credible Vulnerability Indicators for Climate Adaptation Policy Assessment (2007, background): “The need for a methodological framework to guide place-based (that is, sub-national) vulnerability assessments has been identified by Schröter et al. (2004), who developed criteria that such assessments must meet in order to effectively inform the adaptation decision-making process of local…”
• Guest Editorial, part of a Special Feature on Education and Differential Vulnerability to Natural Disasters Is Education a Key to Reducing Vulnerability to Natural Disasters and hence Unavoidable Climate Change? (2014, background): “Key Words: adaptive capacity; climate change; differential vulnerability; education; human capital; natural disasters”
• Adaptive capacity and human cognition: The process of individual adaptation to climate change (2005, background): “This has, in part, stemmed from a realization that a certain amount of climate change will occur, and that society can take concrete steps to minimize the net losses (including taking advantage of opportunities for gains) (Schröter et al., 2005).”
• A Multidisciplinary multi-scale framework for assessing vulnerability to global change (2004, background): “The term vulnerability was defined in such a way that it includes both the traditional elements of an impact assessment (i.e. sensitivities of a system to exposures), and adaptive capacity to cope with potential impacts of global change (Polsky et al. 2003, Turner et al. 2003).”
• A spatially explicit and quantitative vulnerability assessment of ecosystem service change in Europe (2008, background): “It was developed especially to integrate results from a broad range of models and scenarios (Schröter et al. 2005a).”
• Land-Change Science and Political Ecology: Similarities, Differences, and Implications for Sustainability Science (2008, background): “As a whole, this research informs sustainability science by demonstrating that vulnerability involves multiple, interactive hazards acting on complex social-environmental conditions; that different components of the human and environment subsystems have different levels of exposure, sensitivity, and”
• Adaptation and development: Livelihoods and climate change in Subarnabad, Bangladesh (2009, background): “…and engagement of community members themselves is viewed as vital in determining the factors that CLIMATE AND DEVELOPMENT render them vulnerable and the needs and opportunities for reducing these vulnerabilities (Brooks, 2003; Polsky et al., 2003; Smit and Wandel, 2006; Huq and Reid, 2007).”
• Economic valuation of the vulnerability of world agriculture confronted with pollinator decline (2009, positive): “The total economic value of insect pollination (IPEV) was then calculated as follows: Following White (1974), a precise definition of vulnerability was given by Turner et al. (2003) and used by Schröter et al. (2005) to assess the vulnerability of Europe faced with global change.”
