The contemporary development discourse is largely concerned with mitigating vulnerabilities, building resilience, and achieving sustainability. The interconnection of the various factors involved in vulnerability, sustainability assessments, and resilience building necessitates a comprehensive analysis. However, bringing together these factors for a multidimensional analysis of vulnerability or sustainability poses significant challenges. Thus, it is imperative to establish a framework that combines multidimensional vulnerability and sustainability analysis to overcome vulnerabilities and achieve sustainable development. This article presents a framework integrating sustainability into multidimensional vulnerability analysis to establish sustainable intervention. Firstly, we review the key concepts and multidimensional frameworks of vulnerability analysis. Secondly, we discuss the various domains and drivers of vulnerabilities and the role of sustainability in analysing the impact of multidimensional vulnerability and framing sustainable intervention strategies. Lastly, we argue that mitigating vulnerability drivers is central to the preliminary framework, which can be achieved by aligning sustainable intervention strategies with the sustainability goals (SDGs).

Abstract

The contemporary development discourse is largely concerned with mitigating vulnerabilities, building resilience, and achieving sustainability. The interconnection of the various factors involved in vulnerability, sustainability assessments, and resilience building necessitates a comprehensive analysis. However, bringing together these factors for a multidimensional analysis of vulnerability or sustainability poses significant challenges. Thus, it is imperative to establish a framework that combines multidimensional vulnerability and sustainability analysis to overcome vulnerabilities and achieve sustainable development. This article presents a framework integrating sustainability into multidimensional vulnerability analysis to establish sustainable intervention. Firstly, we review the key concepts and multidimensional frameworks of vulnerability analysis. Secondly, we discuss the various domains and drivers of vulnerabilities and the role of sustainability in analysing the impact of multidimensional vulnerability and framing sustainable intervention strategies. Lastly, we argue that mitigating vulnerability drivers is central to the preliminary framework, which can be achieved by aligning sustainable intervention strategies with the sustainability goals (SDGs).
