Extreme weather events are having a significant impact on countries worldwide. A ranking system assesses the effects of these events on human populations and economies. This system has been in place since 2006 and provides a yearly assessment of climate-related impacts.

The ranking is based on various factors, including the number of fatalities and people affected. Countries are ranked according to the severity of the impacts they experience. Further information on the ranking and its findings can be found through the Global Climate Risk Index, which provides detailed insights into the effects of extreme weather events on countries around the world.
