Der Globale Klima-Risiko-Index 2007 untersucht, wie stark Länder und Ländergruppen durch die Auswirkungen wetterbedingter Schadensereignisse (Stürme, Überschwemmungen, Dürren etc.) betroffen sind. Die Auswertungen basieren auf den weltweit anerkannten Datenerhebungen und -analysen des Bereichs GeorisikoForschung (NatCatSERVICE®) der Münchener Rück.
