The below table shows the countries which are worst at managing risks from climate change.

The Climate Change Risk metric includes two sub-metrics:

1. Vulnerability vs readiness for a changing climate whichlooks at a country's propensity to be impacted by climate change hazards vs its ability to make effective use of investments for adaptation.

2. Demographic Pressures which considers pressures upon the state deriving from the population itself or the environment around (including pressures stemming from extreme weather events).

This metric is scored from 0-4 with 4 being the highest score awarded.
