Sensitivity

Definition

here: Sensitivity is the degree to which a system may be affected (negatively or positively) by climate change or climate variability. The effect can be direct (eg. by the influence of the mean annual temperature amplitude on crop yields) or indirect (eg. damages caused by flood events due to climate change-induced sea level rise).
