Chapter 1 Vulnerability
Chapter 3 Climate
• The regional GCM section is still long. It was not used directly in
ClimAID and tends to complicate the discussion. I don’t think it

• I did read this chapter more closely than the others and will
forward an annotated copy that has a number of typos
indentified.
Chapter 4 Water

• Hydro needs to tie to Energy chapter. Need to make sure
discussion in both chapters align. The same is true for
Agricultural water use.
