Abstract

Although they provide essential services to local populations, coral reefs are threatened by the impacts of a multitude of human activities. Through the notions of social and ecological vulnerability of socio-ecosystems dependent on coral reefs, it is possible to develop a risk management framework that enables us to identify and prioritize the issues at stake. In other words, the human, economic and environmental value of elements exposed to the risks of adverse events. This framework makes it possible to assess the possibilities for actions that lead either to reducing vulnerability by reducing hazard or exposure, or that lead to reinforcing response or adaptation capacity. In this policy brief, we explain the concepts of social and ecological vulnerability, and share examples of indicators for assessing and monitoring them, as well as examples of their use in identifying action plans.
