الملخص EN

Vulnerability to climate change of the Moldavian part of the Dniester river was assessed as the function of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity of its basin’s natural and socioeconomic systems.

As a spatial “scale” of the assessment, Moldova’s administrative-territorial units (ATUs) were selected.

The exposure assessment was based on the climatic analysis of baseline (1971–2000) temperature and precipitation and projections of their changes in 2021–2050, separately for cold and warm periods.

The sensitivity assessment included physiographical and socioeconomic characteristics, described by a set of specific indicators.

The adaptive capacity was expressed by general economic and agricultural indicators, taking into consideration the medical provision and housing conditions.

Through a ranking approach, the relative vulnerability of each ATU was calculated by summing its sensitivity and adaptive capacity ranks; the latter were obtained as combinations of their primary indicator ranks, arranged in an increasing and decreasing order, respectively.

Due to lack of sound knowledge on these components' importance in overall assessment of vulnerability, their weights were taken as conventionally equal.

Mapping of vulnerability revealed that ATUs neighboring to municipalities are the most vulnerable and need special attention in climate change adaptation.

The basin’s “hotspots” were discussed with public participation.
