Climate Adaptability

WorldPhysical Environment

This world map shows each country's ability to adapt to climate change's negative effects using GAIN (Global Adaptation Index) This index measures a country's ability to adapt to the negative effects of climate change, including the country's exposure, sensitivity and capacity to adapt. Higher numbers indicate a country is less vulnerable.

Notre Dame Global Adaptation Initiative

GAIN (Global Adaptation Index) This index measures a country's ability to adapt to the negative effects of climate change, including the country's exposure, sensitivity and capacity to adapt. Higher numbers indicate a country is less vulnerable.

The countries with the greatest adaptability to the negative impact caused by climate change, with a climate score of more than 60, include the United States, Canada, France, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom, Ireland, Iceland, Belgium, Switzerland, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Czechia, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and Japan. The remining countries are broken down by region. In North America, Mexico has an adaptability between 40 and 49. In Central America, Costa Rica has an adaptability between 50 and 60. The remining countries have adaptability between 40 and 49. In South America, Chile and Uruguay have adaptability between 50 and 60. The remaining countries have adaptability between 40 and 49. In Africa, Morocco, Tunisia and Botswana are between 50 and 60. Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire, Chana, Toto, Cameroon, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Tanzania, Zambia, Namibia, Djibouti and South Africa are between 40 and 49.
