   Step 2: Consider how the element of climate change you chose to read about impacts a place of interest to you, then write a small vignette (200-400 words). You should focus on why that place is vulnerable and what is being done about it. Your vignette should include answers to the following questions:
   • What is the threat?
   • Why is that place/regional vulnerable?
   • What are the forecasts in terms of environmental change?
   • What are the forecasted impacts on communities?
   • What are the solutions? (If applicable)?
   • Make sure to talk about two different cities – anywhere in world
