Common questions

Answer-first, drawn from the same data above.

  • How risky is Ukraine?

    Ukraine: mid-pack overall, with governance the main pressure. Its overall risk score is 49 out of 100 (medium), blended from World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.

  • What drives Ukraine's risk?

    Ukraine's highest pressures are governance (64, high) and adaptation (59). Its strongest area is nature (28).

  • How might Ukraine's climate change by 2080?

    Under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), about 95% of Ukraine's land shifts toward a warmer climate zone by 2080, lifting its climate-hazard pressure index from 71 to 74 out of 100. This Koppen-based outlook is a separate, forward-looking measure from the historical ND-GAIN scores.

  • How much will Ukraine warm by 2080?

    Under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), Ukraine is on track to warm by +4.3 °C by 2080, with annual precipitation changing by +8 mm; under lower emissions (SSP2-4.5) the warming is about +3.3 °C. Based on CMIP6 multi-model projections against a 1970-2000 baseline.

  • How much will sea levels rise along Ukraine's coast?

    Coastal sea level along Ukraine 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 Ukraine?

    The share of Ukraine under high water stress is projected to move from 19% today to 32% by 2080 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5). Based on WRI Aqueduct projections.

  • How will river-flood exposure change in Ukraine?

    The share of Ukraine exposed to river flooding is projected to move from 1.6% today to 0.8% by 2080 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5). Based on WRI Aqueduct riverine-flood projections.

  • When was Ukraine's risk data last updated?

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