While many studies assess adaptation trends by geographical region or by sector, the amount of residual risk varies across countries with different income and governance structures. Vulnerability, poverty and inequality, which constitute the human dimensions of climate change, affect how these portfolios of adaptation options are structured around the world . Figure 17.5 depicts several illustrative 'typologies' of how risk is addressed. While no country or location fits any one typology, this illustrates a range of risk portfolios found in different contexts.
