Common questions
Answer-first, drawn from the same data above.
How risky is Turkmenistan?
Turkmenistan: mid-pack overall, with adaptation the main pressure. Its overall risk score is 53 out of 100 (medium), blended from World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.
What drives Turkmenistan's risk?
Turkmenistan's highest pressures are adaptation (76, high) and governance (75). Its strongest area is social (18).
How might Turkmenistan's climate change by 2080?
Turkmenistan'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 66 out of 100. This forward-looking outlook is separate from the historical ND-GAIN scores.
How much will Turkmenistan warm by 2080?
Under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), Turkmenistan is on track to warm by +4.2 °C by 2080, with annual precipitation changing by +9 mm; under lower emissions (SSP2-4.5) the warming is about +3.0 °C. Based on CMIP6 multi-model projections against a 1970-2000 baseline.
How will water stress change in Turkmenistan?
The share of Turkmenistan under high water stress is projected to move from 36% today to 59% by 2080 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5). Based on WRI Aqueduct projections.
How will river-flood exposure change in Turkmenistan?
The share of Turkmenistan exposed to river flooding is projected to move from 0.7% today to 0.8% by 2080 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5). Based on WRI Aqueduct riverine-flood projections.
When was Turkmenistan's risk data last updated?
Updated September 2026, drawing on World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.
