Focus on the seven key components:
Socio-cultural: Collect data on demographics, income levels, education, social safety nets, and cultural norms.
Economic: Analyse economic structure, employment opportunities, access to resources, and dependence on specific sectors.
Political: Investigate governance, policy frameworks, and the capacity of institutions to manage change. Assess existing infrastructure, access to technology, and communication networks.
Environmental Analyse the natural resources, biodiversity, and environmental risks within the system. Physical: Identify potential threats like natural disasters, pollution, or economic shocks.
Economical Identifying factors affecting learning outcomes, limiting their educational opportunities, or preventing them from achieving their full potential. Utilise various methods: Use surveys, interviews, government data, scientific reports, and existing vulnerability assessments.

Identify how the components influence each other: Look for connections between factors. For example, high poverty (social factor) might increase sensitivity to discrimination, physical and environmental vulnerabilities. Analyse potential feedback loops: Consider how the implemented solution/policy might interact with existing vulnerabilities, potentially leading to cascading effects.

Involve stakeholders throughout the process: This could include community leaders, policymakers, experts, and potentially individuals directly affected by the proposed solution/policy.

Use the framework's insights to develop strategies for reducing vulnerability to increase resilience and transformation by enhancing adaptive capacity. This could involve skills training, livelihood diversification programs, or fostering innovation.
