Abstract
Human societies, species and ecosystems across Papua New Guinea (PNG) are already feeling the effects of climate change. Consequently, addressing the impacts of climate change is becoming an urgent priority for central and provincial governments, NGOs and local communities. One way to address these impacts is by first assessing the vulnerability of the socio-ecological systems to climate-related disruptions. This would then inform decisions concerning climate-smart planning and help facilitate the implementation of adaptation strategies.
