    Ideas for research questions

    • composition of adaptive capacity and vulnerability
    • adaptive capacity vs vulnerability - differences across the project area (you can calculate resilience by subtracting the vulnerability from adaptive  capacity)
    • population distribution in relation to adaptive capacity and vulnerability
    • change over time in adaptive capacity and vulnerability (data for year 1990 available from supporting material) Note: when you use 1990 data, please use the 5th and 95 percentiles from year 2015 when normalising and scaling the data, so that those are comparable
