Global Climate Risk Index 2020

The Global Climate Risk Index (CRI) carried out by Germanwatch indicates the level of exposure and vulnerability to extreme weather events that countries must understand as a warning to be prepared for more frequent and / or more severe weather events in the future. .
The results of previous editions of the IRC are confirmed: less developed countries are generally more affected than industrialized countries. Japan, the Philippines and Germany were the most affected countries in 2018. For the period from 1999 to 2018, Puerto Rico, Myanmar, and Haiti rank highest.
