Currently risk/vulnerability assessments are available for the majority of the countries that participated in the self-assessment survey. Differences exist in the number and type of sectors covered in the assessments of each country. Agriculture, forestry, water and human health are the sectors most frequently covered in national assessments. For the first three sectors, this is probably due to the fact that the relevant ecosystems provide important services and a potential negative effect due to climate change may have serious implications for both natural systems and humans. At the same time, the attention on the human health sector has increased after the high death rate that has been observed during recent extreme weather events (e.g. the heat wave in summer of 2003 in Europe).
