Abstract

This research analyzes the factors influencing the vulnerability to climate change of the population living in fishing communities in the municipality of Guasave, Sinaloa, Mexico. Thirty-four indicators were used, distributed across the three components of vulnerability to climate change: exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. The factors with the greatest influence on the vulnerability of the evaluated populations were then identified, and based on these results, adaptation measures were proposed to reduce their vulnerability. The results showed that 15 of the 34 indicators were critical for the study area, including: fishing gear, technology used, experience, income-generating activities, elderly head of household, population without access to public health services, per capita income, cyclones, high tides, employment, and activities from the primary sector. It is concluded that fishing communities are vulnerable to climate change, influenced by various factors. Therefore, adaptation proposals are being considered, such as: the development of environmental education campaigns, the youth building the future program, entrepreneurship programs, and the program for the well-being of older adults; which can reduce their vulnerability.
