Who suffers most from extreme weather events? Weather-related loss events in 2013 and 1994 to 2013

Reports & Research
December, 2014
Cambodia
Vietnam
Myanmar

According to the Climate Risk Index, less developed countries are generally more affected than industrialised countries. The countries affected most in 2013 were the Philippines, Cambodia and India. For the period from 1994 to 2013 Honduras, Myanmar and Haiti rank highest. Regarding future climate change, the Climate Risk Index may serve as a red flag for already existing vulnerability that may further increase in regions where extreme events will become more frequent or more severe due to climate change.
