Climate change, inequality and vulnerability: Estimating spatially heterogeneous effects under data constraints 1: Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change, Italy; 2: Ca' Foscari University, Italy; 3: Economic and Social Research Institute, Ireland; 4: Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Understanding the socioeconomic incidence of climate change impacts can inform the effective targeting of adaptation policies. Insight to date is limited by data availability; climate impacts and socioeconomic vulnerability are spatially heterogeneous and spatially-explicit profiles of social vulnerability are often unavailable. A method to overcome these data limitations can widen the scope with which one may estimate spatially heterogeneous climate impacts. This paper presents a novel spatial microsimulation estimation method to quantify social vulnerability at the small area level. We apply this method in the investigation of climate risk as a proof of concept for implementation, considering flood risk in Ireland as a case study. We demonstrate the utility of such insight for climate adaptation policy. The quantification of flood exposure provides a first-round approximation of locations which may require adaptation interventions. However, metrics of socioeconomic vulnerability allow for areas of highest priority to be identified, conditional on societal preferences towards equity. | |
