Global Climate Risk Index (CRI)

• Germanwatch

• Data source: Munich Re NatCatSERVICE

• The index is the weighted average of:� Number of death (1/6)

� Number of deaths per 100,000 inhabitants (1/3)

� Sum of losses in US$ in PPP (1/6)

� Losses per unit of GDP (1/3)

Limitations of WorldRiskIndex

• The scope of the analysis is no longer visible

• The global WorldRiskIndex is dependent on data

availability and quality.

• Different region may have different disaster risk

even within one country (e.g. China and India)

Recommended Next Steps

• Further study (e.g. collect current practices) of

related current practices and data availability in

member countries related to disaster risk index?

• Continue research on “climate-related disasters”?
