Methodology

The Physical Vulnerability to Climate Change Index (PVCCI) is a dynamic, forward-looking indicator although it is based on past data. It is built on the basis of a distinction between two types of risk due to climate change: the risks linked to progressive shocks and those related to the intensification of recurrent shocks. Performance scores are distributed from 0 to 100. The lowest score reflects the best situation.
