This is an interactive panel showing the ND-GAIN values (Readiness+Vulnerability) and economic data of each country. The data is clustered based on continents and data presentation on closest neighbours of Malaysia.

The ND-GAIN index measures how vulnerable a country is to climate change by looking at risks like extreme weather, sea-level rise, and temperature changes. It helps countries understand where they are most at risk and where they need to act quickly, such as improving infrastructure, preparing for emergencies, and protecting agriculture and coastlines. This enables countries to better safeguard their people, economy, and environment against the impacts of climate change.

The data comes from the ND-GAIN Index, which evaluates countries’ climate resilience based on two key components: vulnerability and readiness. The vulnerability component examines a country’s exposure, sensitivity, and capacity to adapt across critical sectors such as ecosystem services, food security, water resources, public health, human habitat, and infrastructure. The readiness component evaluates a country’s ability to leverage investments and enhance adaptation actions through social, economic, and governance indicators. Together, these components provide a comprehensive picture of a nation’s climate resilience.
