6.61. 2010 Africa Vulnerability Index Distribution Map#
The “vulnerability index” represents the level of vulnerability of a certain region to climate change impacts, given the situation of 2010. The index results from the multiplication of the “exposure index” by the “sensitive index”, and divided by the “adaptive capacity index”. The relative weights were defined through Principal Component Analysis (PCA) among the natural logarithm of the variables which compose the underlying indexes, and they were used like exponential coefficient (0.11 for exposure, 0.33 for sensitivity and 0.56 for adaptive capacity). Data in raster format (resolution 0.5 arc-minute). Coordinate system: WGS 84. Data source: https://data.apps.fao.org/map/catalog/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/145a71c7-96a6-4801-981f-b497f5c80553
