Global Climate Risk Index

image of map cri 2021 longterm

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.).

A new edition of the Climate Risk Index (CRI) will be released in early 2025, featuring an updated methodology for improved comparability between country rankings and a more sustainable dataset on climate impacts for future publications.

The new edition of the CRI also strives to enhance accessibility and reachability. Summaries of the key findings will be made available in French, Spanish, Arabic and German. Please provide your email address below, and you will be the first to know about the publication.

Unfortunately, we were unable to compile a Climate Risk Index in 2022 and 2023 due to a temporary lack of data at our data supplier. We are very sorry about this.
