| In its broadest sense, [[social]] '''vulnerability''' is one [[dimension]] of vulnerability to multiple [[stress]]ors and shocks, including [[natural]] hazards. Social vulnerability refers to the inability of people, [[organizations]], and [[societies]] to withstand adverse impacts from multiple stressors to which they are [[exposed]]. These impacts are due in part to characteristics [[inherent]] in [[social]] [[interaction]]s, [[institutions]], and systems of [[cultural]] [[values]]. | | In its broadest sense, [[social]] '''vulnerability''' is one [[dimension]] of vulnerability to multiple [[stress]]ors and shocks, including [[natural]] hazards.
