An RSI Understanding Risk method
Workshop facilitation for vulnerability and adaptive capacity
Workshop facilitation for vulnerability and adaptive capacity is one of the methods used by Risk Sciences International to better understand risk.
Broadly
These workshops support community or sectoral understanding of who or what is most at risk, and what resources or capacities exist to reduce or recover from impacts. Facilitators help participants identify vulnerable populations, map coping strategies, and surface local or institutional knowledge. This method is widely used in climate adaptation and public health.
More specifically
RSI facilitates adaptive capacity and vulnerability workshops as part of its work in climate risk, emergency preparedness, and health equity. It ensures participation from affected groups, frontline actors, and institutional partners. RSI captures insights in structured outputs—such as risk maps or priority lists—that inform both planning and resource allocation.
