Global Climate Risk Index

The annually published Global Climate Risk Index analyses to what extent countries have been affected by the impacts of weather-related loss events (storms, floods, heat waves etc.).

Unfortunately, we were unable to compile a Climate Risk Index in 2022 due to a temporary lack of data at our data supplier. We are very sorry about this and hope that there will be a new edition of the CRI in 2023. Until then, you are welcome to take a look at our CRI of 2021.


Our independent work on this topic depends on your financial support, every contribution counts.
