FAQ

Common questions

Answer-first, drawn from the same data above.

How risky is China?
China sits mid-pack overall, with climate the main pressure, easing recently. Its overall risk score is 43 out of 100 (medium), blended from World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.
What drives China's risk?
China's highest pressures are climate (69, high) and nature (50). Its strongest area is social (15).
How might China's climate change by 2080?
Under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), about 22% of China's land shifts toward a warmer climate zone by 2080, lifting its climate-hazard pressure index from 65 to 69 out of 100. This Koppen-based outlook is a separate, forward-looking measure from the historical ND-GAIN scores.
When was China's risk data last updated?
Updated June 2026, drawing on World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.
