Vulnerability is a large, ambiguous, undetermined, and increasingly relevant concept.
It is a notion that engages jurists, philosophers, sociologists and ecologists, all of
whom have tried to attribute to it a meaning, a content and a set of characteristics.
Vulnerability is also reflected in all or almost all areas of our lives: we experience it in
the humanitarian, health, economic and social crises that periodically and mercilessly
afflict our societies, exacerbated by the fragility of natural systems and the growing
climatic risks. The global climate situation has revealed not only a uniform
vulnerability, but also a series of different and variable vulnerabilities that affect
human beings, ecosystems, nature, planet, and human and non-human rights
