Resumen
Climate change refers to any apparent change in the patterns expected of the climate, which occurs in the long term in a particular region or for the entire global climate. These changes are due to unusual occurrences in the Earth's climate. Iran, like many countries, is exposed to climate phenomena, which in turn will exacerbate the crisis of water and drought. In this study, we will analyze this issue against the phenomenon of climate change in order to estimate the vulnerability of Iran, and to this end, we will use the CVI vulnerability index on the provincial scale. By utilizing the results of this research, it will be clear those suitable solutions to increase adaptation to climate change conditions. The results of this research indicate that Hamadan and Alborz provinces have the highest vulnerability and therefore have the least adaptability to climate change compared to other provinces. On the other hand, Khuzestan and Tehran provinces have the lowest degree of relative vulnerability due to rich water resources, literacy rate and industry's GDP. Given the many differences in vulnerability, decision-makers can develop provincial-level policies to control more vulnerability.
