of assets and services across four categories – human capital, physical and financial assets, social support, and state support (Foa 2013; World Bank 2013).

**The Center for Global Development’s Vulnerability to Climate Change Index** . This index provides an accounting of climate change vulnerability, by developing a Climate Drivers Index for 233 states, and quantifies vulnerability to climate change as a result of (1) weather‐related disasters, (2) sea‐level rise, and (3) reduced agricultural productivity. This Climate Drivers Index is also combined with data on governance and per capita income to incorporate measures of resilience, and with data on project effectiveness within countries. The full paper outlining the methodology by Wheeler (2011) can be found <u>HERE.</u>

**Barr et al (2010) – Climate Change Impact Rankings.** This paper provides an indicator of climate change impact in 131 countries and discusses how adaptation funding might be allocated based on this measure. The indicator includes dimensions of physical impact, adaptive capacity, and implementation capacity. On physical impact, four sub‐indicators are included, on agriculture, disasters, health, and coastal zones. On adaptive capacity, separate scores are developed which incorporate sub‐indicators such as the age dependency ratio and the Gini coefficient. For implementation capacity, data from the World Bank’s Country Policy and Institutional Assessment and Annual Review of Portfolio Performance are used. An overall vulnerability score is derived by subtracting the score for adaptive capacity from the score for impact. The full paper can be found <u>HERE.</u>

**DARA’s Climate Vulnerability Monitor.** The Climate Vulnerability Monitor provides an assessment of climate change impact in 184 countries. The Monitor provides an assessment of socioeconomic vulnerability, covering four impact areas, including (1) habitat change, (2) health impact, (3) industry stress, and (4) environmental disasters. Each of the four impact areas is composed of several sub‐ indicators. The Monitor assesses vulnerability in terms of the impact of climate change on each of these sub‐indicators, with the impact expressed as higher mortality (health), costs relative to GDP (for habitat change and industry stress), or both (for environmental disasters), in 2010 and 2030.

**UN University and University of Bonn’s World Risk Index** . The World Risk Index is a tool used to assess the disaster risk of a country. The objective of this index is to measure the vulnerability to natural disasters in 171 countries, and is composed of four main indicators: (1) exposure to natural hazards; (2) susceptibility which depends on socioeconomic conditions, (3) coping capacity which is dependent upon preparedness, governance, and security, and (4) adaptive capacity relating to future natural events. The Index is calculated from 28 sub‐indicators from openly available data. More information can be found <u>HERE.</u>

**GermanWatch’s Global Climate Risk Index** . The Global Climate Risk Index, published annually, analyzes to what extent countries have been affected by the impacts of weather‐related loss events, including storms, floods, and heatwaves. The Index is populated using data from Munich Re’s NatCatSErVICE and the International Monetary Fund, among other sources. The following indicators were used in the Global Climate Risk Index: number of deaths, number of deaths (population‐adjusted), the sum of losses, and
