Sensitivity matrix. Sensitivity classes no (N), low (L), moderate (M) and high (H), followed by number of responses in the survey per class. Notes: a, answers about these assets were pooled per sector to remove exposure bias; b, sensitivity class changed based on impacts/sensitivities reported in literature (see Tables S3-S6); c, median of distribution taken instead of mode.
