In order to finance adaptation measures in the most severe affected countries, the parties of the Kyoto Protocol established the Adaptation Fund in 2007. In view of the limited resources that are available for adaptation, scales for the prioritization of countries that are based on their suspected vulnerability, have been developed in literature. But so far, indicators of vulnerability reflect only the general indicator 606 $aEmergency management$zBangladesh 606 $aEmergency management$zPakistan 606 $aNatural disasters$zBangladesh 606 $aNatural disasters$zPakistan 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEmergency management 615 0$aEmergency management 615 0$aNatural disasters 615 0$aNatural disasters 676 $a551.6 700 $aPeissker$b Tina$0877703 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463270003321 996 $aThe governance of climate change adaptation in developing countries$91959785 997 $aUNINA
