FAQ

Common questions

Answer-first, drawn from the same data above.

How risky is Dominica?
Dominica runs low across the board; strong climate keeps overall risk contained. Its overall risk score is 38 out of 100 (low), blended from World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.
What drives Dominica's risk?
Dominica's highest pressures are governance (59, medium) and adaptation (47). Its strongest area is climate (15).
How might Dominica's climate change by 2080?
Dominica's climate zones stay broadly stable through 2080 even under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5); its Koppen-based climate-hazard pressure index holds near 76 out of 100. This forward-looking outlook is separate from the historical ND-GAIN scores.
How much will sea levels rise along Dominica's coast?
Coastal sea level along Dominica is projected to rise by +0.70 m by 2100 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), and by about +0.51 m under lower emissions (SSP2-4.5). Based on the regional median of IPCC AR6 projections.
How will water stress change in Dominica?
The share of Dominica under high water stress is projected to move from 0% today to 0% by 2080 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5). Based on WRI Aqueduct projections.
How will river-flood exposure change in Dominica?
The share of Dominica exposed to river flooding is projected to move from 0% today to 0% by 2080 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5). Based on WRI Aqueduct riverine-flood projections.
When was Dominica's risk data last updated?
Updated August 2026, drawing on World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.
