This addendum, SocMon/SEM-Pasifika for Climate Vulnerability Assessment, is an update to the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN) Socio-economic Manual for Coral Reef Management (Bunce et al. 2000). These simple, user-friendly guidelines have been developed through the Centre for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) at The University of the West Indies (UWI), Cave Hill Campus, Barbados, to assist coastal and marine resource practitioners and managers to apply social vulnerability assessments for understanding communities’ vulnerability to and how they might plan to adapt to, changing climate. The guidelines complement the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN) Socio-economic Manual for Coral Reef Management, the regional SocMon guidelines and 2011 Climate Change Indicators addendum, and should be used together with them when developing any socio-economic assessment or monitoring programme with focus on climate change vulnerability, impacts and adaptation.
