“Perspectives on Social Vulnerability,” edited by Koko Warner and published by the United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS) in 2007, is a foundational work in the field of social vulnerability studies. This volume is part of the UNU-EHS SOURCE series and compiles selected papers from the First Summer Academy on Social Vulnerability held in Hohenkammer, Germany, in July 2006. The publication aims to consolidate research on social vulnerability and facilitate science that increases understanding and proposes possible solutions to manifestations of social vulnerability to environmental and social stressors.
