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”?
