FAQ

Common questions

Answer-first, drawn from the same data above.

How risky is Hungary?
Hungary sits mid-pack overall, with governance the main pressure. Its overall risk score is 42 out of 100 (medium), blended from World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.
What drives Hungary's risk?
Hungary's highest pressures are governance (56, medium) and climate (53). Its strongest area is social (21).
How might Hungary's climate change by 2080?
Under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), about 54% of Hungary's land shifts toward a warmer climate zone by 2080, lifting its climate-hazard pressure index from 73 to 76 out of 100. This Koppen-based outlook is a separate, forward-looking measure from the historical ND-GAIN scores.
How much will Hungary warm by 2080?
Under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), Hungary is on track to warm by +4.0 °C by 2080, with annual precipitation changing by +1 mm; under lower emissions (SSP2-4.5) the warming is about +2.9 °C. Based on CMIP6 multi-model projections against a 1970-2000 baseline.
How will water stress change in Hungary?
The share of Hungary under high water stress is projected to move from 6.2% today to 7.1% by 2080 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5). Based on WRI Aqueduct projections.
How will river-flood exposure change in Hungary?
The share of Hungary exposed to river flooding is projected to move from 1% today to 1.8% by 2080 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5). Based on WRI Aqueduct riverine-flood projections.
When was Hungary's risk data last updated?
Updated August 2026, drawing on World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.
