Intro to Public Health
Vulnerability refers to the susceptibility of individuals or communities to harm, particularly when faced with external threats or stressors. It encompasses various factors such as socio-economic status, health, geographic location, and access to resources that can influence a person's or community's ability to withstand adverse conditions. In the context of climate change, vulnerability highlights how certain populations are more exposed and less equipped to deal with the health impacts of environmental changes.
