    La calidad de la medición de la vulnerabilidad ambiental, económica y social ante fenómenos naturales adversos y ante el cambio climático es primordial para un diagnóstico, con un enfoque integral, de los riesgos e impactos que permita el desarrollo de estrategias de desarrollo sostenible eficientes y adaptadas a las características socioespaciales del territorio en el que se implementen. Sin embargo, los estudios científicos de vulnerabilidad de estos fenómenos ambientales están siendo desarrollados principalmente por áreas de investigación relacionadas con las ciencias físicas y naturales, ocupando las ciencias sociales una clara posición de desventaja en este ámbito. Los resultados muestran cómo esta infrarrepresentación de las ciencias sociales está favoreciendo evaluaciones de vulnerabilidad sesgados, con sistemas de indicadores incompletos, que ponen en riesgo un diagnóstico correcto de la situación de vulnerabilidad social, lo que puede derivar en políticas y estrategias de sostenibilidad que no se ajusten a las necesidades los territorios que sufren las consecuencias no deseadas de estos fenómenos y que afectan, con especial virulencia, a la población con mayor índice de vulnerabilidad social.

    The quality of the measurement of environmental, economic and social vulnerability to adverse natural phenomena and climate change is essential for a diagnosis, with a comprehensive approach, of the risks and impacts that allow the development of efficient sustainable development strategies adapted to the socio-spatial characteristics of the territory in which they are implemented. However, scientific studies of the vulnerability of these environmental phenomena are being developed mainly by research areas related to the physical and natural sciences, with the social sciences occupying a clearly disadvantaged position in this field. The results show how this under-representation of the social sciences is favouring biased vulnerability assessments, with incomplete indicator systems that jeopardise a correct diagnosis of the situation of social vulnerability, which can lead to sustainability policies and strategies that are not adjusted to the needs of the territories that suffer the undesired consequences of these phenomena and that affect, with particular virulence, the population with the highest index of social vulnerability.
