Welcome to part 2 of "Disaster Ingredients"! Today we are discussing vulnerability with Dr Joanne Jordan from the Institute for Development Policy and Management at the University of Manchester in the UK. 

We talk about her efforts as an environmental social scientist working at the interface of climate change, poverty and complex notions of risk, mostly in Bangladesh. The vulnerability concept entails much more than a word synonymous with weakness - check out this episode to find out more! 

Next week we will be back with Dr Lee Bosher to investigate exposure!
