This research analyzes the factors that influence the vulnerability to climate change of the population living in fishing communities in the municipality of Guasave, Sinaloa, Mexico. For this, 34 indicators were used, distributed in the three components that constitute vulnerability to climate change, which are exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity. Subsequently, the factors that had the greatest influence on the vulnerability of the evaluated populations were identified and based on these results, some adaptation measures were proposed in order to reduce their vulnerability. As a result, it was found that 15 of the 34 indicators used were critical for the studied area, among them: fishing materials, technology used, experience, incomegenerating activities, elderly leadership, population without public health service, per capita income, cyclones, high tide, employment and activities from the primary sector. It is concluded that fishing communities are vulnerable to climate change, influenced by various factors; For this reason, adaptation proposals are proposed such as: the development of environmental education campaigns, the program for young people building the future, programs for entrepreneurship, the program for the well-being of older adults; which can decrease your vulnerability.
