where LVI–IPCCd is the LVI for community d expressed using the
IPCC vulnerability framework, e is the calculated exposure score for
community d (equivalent to the Natural Disasters and Climate Variability
major component), a is the calculated adaptive capacity
score for district d (weighted average of the Socio-Demographic,
Livelihood Strategies, and Social Networks major components),
and s is the calculated sensitivity score for district d (weighted average
of the Heath, Food, and Water major components). The LVI–IPCC
was scaled from 1 (least vulnerable) to +1 (most vulnerable).
