Republic of Moldova’s territory’s Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI), calculated from exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity to climate risks, is presented. Extreme values of climate risk factors, water supply, and statistical data on socio-demographic profile were used as the initial data. As a case study, LVI and its components for the Cogâlnic River’s basin within the limits of Republic of Moldova’s boundaries was extracted from the obtained maps.
