- - - - Vulnerability is a measure of the extent to which a community, structure, service or geographical area is likely to be damaged or disrupted, on account of its nature or location, by the impact of a particular disaster hazard
    - - Homes situated near Tornado alley
      - Costal Cities being flooded with water
      - An ecosystem Located near areas of Urban Development
- - - - **Fluorinated gases Include some of the most potent and longest lasting greenhouse gases emitted by human activities. These gases can remain in the upper atmosphere for centuries, and contribute a significant amount to the greenhouse effect because of that
    - - perfluorocarbons (PFCs)
      - sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)
      - hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
      - nitrogen trifluoride (NF3).
    - - Definition
        
        Adaptation means that the adverse effects of global warming and climate change are anticipated before hand and done in order to minimize the damage that it may cause
      - Examples
        
        Predicting the effect that a natural disaster will have
        
        Predicting the increase in flooding in certain areas, and evacuating the people there
      - Net-Zero Emissions
        
        Definition
        
        zero emissions means releasing no greenhouse gases to the atmosphere—that is, no carbon dioxide (CO2), no methane, no nitrous oxide or other greenhouse gases. Achieving net-zero emissions means that some greenhouse gases are still released, but these are offset by removing an equivalent amount of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and storing it permanently in soil, plants, or materials
        
        Example
        
        Our society still emitting Carbon emissions but the amount is lower than the amount being taken out of the atmosphere
