This paper develops and implements an integrated method to assess climate vulnerabil- ity in a socio-natural system by identifying and linking the natural and socio-economic factors that increase such vulnerability. With these insights, the method assists in developing effective strategies and measures to increase the system's resilience and adaptability to the adverse impacts of climate variability and change. In order to detect and address the interactions between natural and socio- economic dynamics, the climate vulnerability of the socio-natural system, later referred to as study area, is considered based on the concept of a complex adaptive system and is characterized through its natural, economic and socio-cultural local environments. A climate vulnerability index (CVI) is defined as a function dependent on 3 sub-indices, namely: climate exposure, resilience and adapt- ability, and the related second-order variables. The method was developed to be applied in the fol- lowing steps: (1) characterization of the natural and socio-economic dynamics; (2) integrated assess- ment of socio-economic, environmental and climatic baseline and future conditions, through use of an indicator system, related sub-indices and the CVI; and (3) comparative analysis of current and future CVI values, to be used for guidance in adaptation efforts.
