Common questions
Answer-first, drawn from the same data above.
How risky is Austria?
Austria: low across the board; strong social keeps overall risk contained. Its overall risk score is 36 out of 100 (low), blended from World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.
What drives Austria's risk?
Austria's highest pressures are climate (50, medium) and governance (48). Its strongest area is social (24).
How might Austria's climate change by 2080?
Under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), about 67% of Austria's land shifts toward a warmer climate zone by 2080, lifting its climate-hazard pressure index from 69 to 74 out of 100. This Koppen-based outlook is a separate, forward-looking measure from the historical ND-GAIN scores.
How much will Austria warm by 2080?
Under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), Austria is on track to warm by +3.8 °C by 2080, with annual precipitation changing by +50 mm; under lower emissions (SSP2-4.5) the warming is about +2.7 °C. Based on CMIP6 multi-model projections against a 1970-2000 baseline.
How will water stress change in Austria?
The share of Austria under high water stress is projected to move from 0% today to 4.4% by 2080 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5). Based on WRI Aqueduct projections.
How will river-flood exposure change in Austria?
The share of Austria exposed to river flooding is projected to move from 2.6% today to 2.5% by 2080 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5). Based on WRI Aqueduct riverine-flood projections.
When was Austria's risk data last updated?
Updated September 2026, drawing on World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.
