FAQ

Common questions

Answer-first, drawn from the same data above.

How risky is Zimbabwe?
Zimbabwe sits mid-pack overall, with adaptation the main pressure. Its overall risk score is 51 out of 100 (medium), blended from World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.
What drives Zimbabwe's risk?
Zimbabwe's highest pressures are adaptation (78, high) and governance (60). Its strongest area is nature (31).
How might Zimbabwe's climate change by 2080?
Under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), about 26% of Zimbabwe's land shifts toward a drier, more arid zone by 2080, lifting its climate-hazard pressure index from 69 to 66 out of 100. This Koppen-based outlook is a separate, forward-looking measure from the historical ND-GAIN scores.
When was Zimbabwe's risk data last updated?
Updated June 2026, drawing on World Bank, INFORM Risk Index and ND-GAIN Country Index.
