Notes

The overall assessment of climate hazard of each country is based on the aggregation of the levels of four areas (warming, flood, drought and cyclone). If the level of each area is “low”, it scores “0”, if “medium”, it scores “1”, if “high”, it scores 2. If the sum of the scores of four climate risks is below 2, the overall assessment of climate hazard is described “low”, if from 2 to 4, it is “medium-low”, if from 4 to 6, it is “medium-high”, if from 6, it is “high”.
