FAQ

Common questions

Answer-first, drawn from the same data above.

How risky is Australia?
Australia runs low across the board; strong social keeps overall risk contained. Its overall risk score is 35 out of 100 (low), blended from World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.
What drives Australia's risk?
Australia's highest pressures are climate (53, medium) and governance (45). Its strongest area is social (20).
How might Australia's climate change by 2080?
Under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), about 5% of Australia's land shifts toward a drier, more arid zone by 2080, lifting its climate-hazard pressure index from 68 to 67 out of 100. This Koppen-based outlook is a separate, forward-looking measure from the historical ND-GAIN scores.
When was Australia's risk data last updated?
Updated June 2026, drawing on World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.
