Description
Summary:The combination of climate projections for Norway, and its recent demographic history make the country a good case study for regional development and social vulnerability to climate change. The rural settlements constituting northern Norway maintain an economic and demographic history with the potential to create a scenario of regional social vulnerability. The paper's analysis will illustrate the great variation between the regions of northern and southern Norway. This paper's objective is to assess Norway's potential for social vulnerability to climate change at a more local level. Thesis (M.S., Geography) -- University of Idaho, December 2014
