Climate vulnerability
Tier B· ReputableND-GAIN vulnerability score: exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity to climate change across food, water, health, ecosystems, habitat and infrastructure.
100 = least climate-vulnerable (best), 0 = most vulnerable
How this score is built
The ND-GAIN vulnerability score (University of Notre Dame Global Adaptation Initiative, CC BY 3.0) — a country's exposure, sensitivity and capacity to adapt to climate change, across food, water, health, ecosystems, human habitat and infrastructure. Direction is higher_worse (a higher score = more vulnerable); normalized with min–max and inverted, so 100 = least vulnerable.
The ND-GAIN download is a ZIP at a version-stamped URL with no stable "latest", so this snapshot is pinned to a specific release (recorded with its retrieval date); refreshing it is a deliberate manual step, not a live scrape. Latest available year per country.
