Climate Vulnerability Monitor

Description

The Climate Vulnerability Monitor (2nd Ed.) measures the global impact of climate change and the carbon economy at a national level. It calculates and compares the vulnerability of 184 countries in four areas of impact (environmental disaster, habitat change, health impact and industry stress) using 34 climate and carbon related indicators. The monitor uses five levels of vulnerability to compare and contrast nations.
