About this data
This dataset provides information on the Climate-driven INFORM Risk Indicator, which helps assess the risk of climate-driven hazards. It can be used to support decisions related to prevention, preparedness, and response. It has three dimensions: climate-driven hazard & exposure, vulnerability, and lack of coping capacity. It is produced based on the INFORM Risk with IMF staff calculations. Climate-driven Hazard & Exposure reflects the probability of physical exposure associated with specific climate-driven hazards. Vulnerability represents economic, political and social characteristics of the community that can be destabilized in case of a hazard event. Lack of coping capacity relates to the ability of a country to cope with disasters in terms of formal, organized activities and the effort of the country’s government as well as the existing infrastructure which contribute to the reduction of disaster risk. The data are updated annually based on August data release by INFORM Risk.
