What drives Liechtenstein's risk?

Liechtenstein's highest pressures are adaptation (36, low) and climate (34). Its strongest area is social (16).

How might Liechtenstein's climate change by 2080?

Liechtenstein'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 Liechtenstein warm by 2080?

Under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), Liechtenstein is on track to warm by +3.7 °C by 2080, with annual precipitation changing by +8 mm; under lower emissions (SSP2-4.5) the warming is about +2.5 °C. Based on CMIP6 multi-model projections against a 1970-2000 baseline.

How will water stress change in Liechtenstein?

The share of Liechtenstein 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 Liechtenstein?

The share of Liechtenstein exposed to river flooding is projected to move from 21% today to 21% by 2080 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5). Based on WRI Aqueduct riverine-flood projections.

When was Liechtenstein's risk data last updated?

Updated September 2026, drawing on World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.
