🌡️ Climate Risk Index by Country — World Ranking

Score 0–100, higher = lower climate risk. Based on the INFORM climate risk assessment combined with natural hazard exposure data (heat, drought, floods, storms, wildfires, earthquakes). Missing values are compensated by weight re-normalization.

The Climate Risk Index shows which countries are most exposed to climate change and natural hazards — and which are best positioned for the coming decades. Scandinavian countries, New Zealand and Canada lead the ranking thanks to moderate warming trajectories, low hazard exposure and high adaptive capacity. Small island states, the Sahel region and South Asia face the highest combined exposure to heat extremes, droughts, floods and sea-level rise. For travelers, expats and long-term relocation planning, the index answers key questions: Where is extreme heat becoming a health concern? Where are wildfires or floods increasingly likely to disrupt travel? Each row links to the full country profile with an overall risk assessment.
