About This Ranking
This ranking is based on comprehensive climate risk assessments that consider:
- Vulnerability Index: Measures a country's sensitivity to climate impacts and lack of adaptive capacity
- Exposure Level: Assesses the degree to which a country is exposed to climate hazards
- Adaptation Capacity: Evaluates a country's ability to respond to and recover from climate impacts
- Primary Risks: Identifies the most significant climate threats facing each nation
Frequently Asked Questions
Chad ranks #1 with a risk score of 95.8, facing extreme drought, desertification, and food insecurity. The Central African Republic follows at #2 (95.2), and Bangladesh at #3 (94.5). These countries combine extreme exposure with very low adaptation capacity.
Bangladesh faces unique compound risks: sea-level rise threatens 17% of its land area, annual monsoon flooding affects millions, and cyclones regularly devastate coastal regions. Despite better adaptation capacity than Chad, its extreme physical exposure to multiple climate hazards keeps it in the top 3.
India leads G20 climate risk due to extreme heatwaves, monsoon variability, and sea-level rise affecting 1.4B people. Indonesia follows with deforestation and flooding risks. Surprisingly, the US faces significant risk from hurricanes, wildfires, and coastal flooding despite high adaptation capacity.
The Maldives (#11) faces existential risk; sea-level rise could make the entire nation uninhabitable. Similar risks affect Pacific island nations. These countries have medium adaptation capacity but face threats no amount of adaptation can fully address.
Sub-Saharan Africa shows the most concerning trends; nearly all countries show 'worsening' indicators. South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh) also shows accelerating risks. These regions face the dual challenge of high exposure and limited resources for adaptation.
Australia faces severe bushfire and drought risks. Japan is exposed to typhoons and flooding. The Netherlands, despite advanced infrastructure, remains vulnerable to sea-level rise. Even wealthy nations can't fully engineer away geographic exposure.
Several top-risk countries (Sudan, Syria, Yemen, South Sudan) face combined climate and conflict pressures. Climate stress often exacerbates existing conflicts over water and land resources, creating a reinforcing cycle that further reduces adaptation capacity.
Drought and flooding are the most common primary risks globally, affecting both developed and developing nations. Sea-level rise is critical for coastal and island nations. Desertification threatens the Sahel region extensively. These risks increasingly occur together.
