Supplementary notes

Note: According to the source, the vulnerability index was compiled through a comprehensive study of relevant environmental indicators along with a guided methodology to aggregate results. The index aims to provide a quantified status of vulnerability and is largely conceptual in its utility. The value does not have any stand-alone practical significance.

Socio-economic vulnerability was calculated using the following sub-indicators: population density, percentage of marginal farmers, Livestock to human ratio, per capita income, number of primary health centers per 100,000 households, percentage of women in the overall workforce.

This statistic shows the results of socio-economic vulnerability assessment for India's Himalayan region in 2019, by select state. The socio-economic vulnerability index was highest for West Bengal at **** and lowest for Arunachal Pradesh at ****. The data was drawn from the vulnerability index values from various socio-economic, demographic and health indicators of ** Indian Himalayan states.
High vulnerability leaves a region with low capacity to anticipate, resist, cope with or recover from the impact of a climate hazard. However, the study cautions that vulnerability is a relative measure and thus the assessment does not portray states with a low vulnerability index as less prone to risk in an absolute manner. Rather, the assessment is only relative to other states.
