Common questions
Answer-first, drawn from the same data above.
How risky is Trinidad and Tobago?
Trinidad and Tobago: mid-pack overall, with adaptation 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 Trinidad and Tobago's risk?
Trinidad and Tobago's highest pressures are adaptation (66, high) and governance (61). Its strongest area is climate (25).
How might Trinidad and Tobago's climate change by 2080?
Trinidad and Tobago'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 Trinidad and Tobago warm by 2080?
Under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), Trinidad and Tobago is on track to warm by +2.2 °C by 2080, with annual precipitation changing by -361 mm; under lower emissions (SSP2-4.5) the warming is about +1.6 °C. Based on CMIP6 multi-model projections against a 1970-2000 baseline.
How much will sea levels rise along Trinidad and Tobago's coast?
Coastal sea level along Trinidad and Tobago is projected to rise by +0.82 m by 2100 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), and by about +0.61 m under lower emissions (SSP2-4.5). Based on the regional median of IPCC AR6 projections.
How will water stress change in Trinidad and Tobago?
The share of Trinidad and Tobago 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 Trinidad and Tobago?
The share of Trinidad and Tobago 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 Trinidad and Tobago's risk data last updated?
Updated September 2026, drawing on World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.
