Common questions
Answer-first, drawn from the same data above.
How risky is Romania?
Romania: mid-pack overall, with governance the main pressure. Its overall risk score is 44 out of 100 (medium), blended from World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.
What drives Romania's risk?
Romania's highest pressures are governance (58, medium) and adaptation (56). Its strongest area is social (26).
How might Romania's climate change by 2080?
Under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), about 76% of Romania's land shifts toward a warmer climate zone by 2080, lifting its climate-hazard pressure index from 72 to 74 out of 100. This Koppen-based outlook is a separate, forward-looking measure from the historical ND-GAIN scores.
How much will Romania warm by 2080?
Under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), Romania is on track to warm by +4.0 °C by 2080, with annual precipitation changing by -10 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 much will sea levels rise along Romania's coast?
Coastal sea level along Romania is projected to rise by +0.63 m by 2100 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), and by about +0.46 m under lower emissions (SSP2-4.5). Based on the regional median of IPCC AR6 projections.
How will water stress change in Romania?
The share of Romania under high water stress is projected to move from 10% today to 30% by 2080 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5). Based on WRI Aqueduct projections.
How will river-flood exposure change in Romania?
The share of Romania exposed to river flooding is projected to move from 2.4% today to 0.9% by 2080 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5). Based on WRI Aqueduct riverine-flood projections.
When was Romania's risk data last updated?
Updated September 2026, drawing on World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.
