The map shows Maplecroft's Climate Change Vulnerability Index (CCVI), which is a unique attempt to quantify and map vulnerability to the impacts of climate change at the sub-national level. In this analysis we have divided climate change vulnerability factors into six groups: economy; natural resources and ecosystems; poverty, development and health; agriculture; population, settlement and infrastructure; and institutions, governance and social capital. A sub-index was developed for each group and these were combined to form the CCVI. The natural resources and ecosystems and agriculture sub-indices are weighted twice as heavily as the others in the overall CCVI.
