Climate Change
Vulnerability Map 2011
www.maplecroft.com
Maplecroft maps sub-national climate change vulnerability “hotspots” down to 25km² for
170 countries by using a Geographical Information System (GIS) model. The sub-national
map is based on Maplecroft’s Climate Change Vulnerability Index 2011 (CCVI), which
evaluates the vulnerability of human populations to extreme climate related events and
changes in major climate parameters over the next 30 years. The CCVI combines the risk
of exposure to climate change and related extreme events (drought, cyclones, landslides,
flooding and sea-level rise), with the degree of current sensitivity to that exposure and
the ability of the country to adjust to, or take advantage of existing or anticipated stresses
resulting from climate change.
