Common questions
Answer-first, drawn from the same data above.
How risky is Belarus?
Belarus: mid-pack overall, with governance the main pressure, rising over five years. Its overall risk score is 41 out of 100 (medium), blended from World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.
What drives Belarus's risk?
Belarus's highest pressures are governance (63, high) and adaptation (54). Its strongest area is nature (20).
How might Belarus's climate change by 2080?
Under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), about 96% of Belarus's land shifts toward a warmer climate zone by 2080, lifting its climate-hazard pressure index from 71 to 75 out of 100. This Koppen-based outlook is a separate, forward-looking measure from the historical ND-GAIN scores.
How much will Belarus warm by 2080?
Under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), Belarus is on track to warm by +4.6 °C by 2080, with annual precipitation changing by +20 mm; under lower emissions (SSP2-4.5) the warming is about +3.6 °C. Based on CMIP6 multi-model projections against a 1970-2000 baseline.
How will water stress change in Belarus?
The share of Belarus under high water stress is projected to move from 5.5% today to 9.9% by 2080 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5). Based on WRI Aqueduct projections.
How will river-flood exposure change in Belarus?
The share of Belarus exposed to river flooding is projected to move from 0.6% today to 0.3% by 2080 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5). Based on WRI Aqueduct riverine-flood projections.
When was Belarus's risk data last updated?
Updated September 2026, drawing on World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.
