The Notre Dame Global Adaptation Initiative’s (ND-GAIN) Country Index is a free, open source index that shows a country’s current vulnerability to climate disruptions. It also assesses a country’s readiness to leverage private and public sector investment for adaptive actions. The ND-GAIN Country Index brings together more than 40 core indicators to measure vulnerability and readiness of 182 UN countries from 1995 to the present (10 countries only have readiness scores).
Corporate, NGO, government, and development decision-makers use ND-GAIN’s country-level rankings and underlying data to make informed strategic operational and reputational decisions regarding supply chains, capital projects, policy changes and community engagements.
