Countries Facing the Worst Climate Emergencies

Climate scientists have warned that immediate and substantial action is necessary to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 in order to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels. This goal was hammered out at the 2015 U.N. Climate Change Conference in Paris.

“Without increased and urgent mitigation ambition in the coming years, leading to a sharp decline in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, global warming will surpass 1.5 C in the following decades, leading to irreversible loss of the most fragile ecosystems, and crisis after crisis for the most vulnerable people and societies,” the IPCC said in a special report in 2019.

Indeed, the punishing effects of global warming will not be dished out equally. To identify the counties most vulnerable to climate change, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the Notre Dame Global Adaptation Initiative that measures the vulnerability to climate change and readiness of 182 different countries. Countries are ranked by their overall index score, which itself consists of a vulnerability index and a readiness index. 

The vulnerability index “measures a country’s exposure, sensitivity and capacity to adapt to the negative effects of climate change,” considering indicators in six life-supporting sectors: food, water, health, ecosystem service, human habitat, and infrastructure. The readiness index “measures a country’s ability to leverage investments and convert them to adaptation actions” and considers different indicators in three components: economic readiness, governance readiness, and social readiness. 

We also added GDP per capita and total population from the World Bank World Development Indicators for 2020. Ties were broken by GDP per capita.

The countries most vulnerable to climate change, including Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Myanmar, are the ones least responsible for global warming. Meanwhile countries like Germany, Japan, and the United States that have economically prospered partly by releasing greenhouse gasses are far better prepared and developed to mitigate the effects of global warming.

For example, the United States recently committed to spending $369 billion on a climate plan that aims to reduce carbon emissions through a series of incentives that would promote clean energy, improve energy efficiency in housing, and provide tax credits for the purchase of electric cars and energy efficient appliances. (Earth’s CO2 level rose every year since climate change became a national issue.)

But the 30 countries most vulnerable to global warming lack the economic resources to dish out tax breaks for electric cars and green home appliances. These impoverished countries are home to more than a billion people, many of them living off subsistence-level, rain-fed agriculture in states wreaked with political instability and poor public infrastructure.

Twenty-three of these countries are African nations dispersed across the continent, including in arid North Africa and in the world’s second-largest rainforest of Central African. The tiny Caribbean country of Haiti is the most vulnerable in the Western Hemisphere. (These are the worst cities to live as climate change gets worse.)

Rising temperatures and rising sea levels, increased variability in precipitation, and increased risk of droughts and floods are the biggest threats from climate change. They will exacerbate existing problems, such as soil erosion caused by deforestation, salt water intrusion into freshwater aquifers, and food insecurity.

Paradoxically, global warming is causing both floods and droughts as higher temperatures suck up more water from the surface into the atmosphere, causing changes to global weather patterns that billions of people rely on for food production. 

Here is the country most vulnerable to global warming.

30. Syrian Arab Republic
> Overall index score: 38.1
> Vulnerability score: 0.47
> Worst vulnerability sector: Infrastructure
> Readiness score: 0.23
> Worst readiness dimension: Governance
> GDP per capita: N/A
> Population: 17,500,657 – #66 highest out of 182 countries

Water shortages are common in Syria, where nearly 90% of its freshwater is used for irrigation. The country grapples with an annual water deficit of about 3 billion cubic meters, or 20% of the country’s water needs. Models suggest that the hottest day of the year in Syria could be between 4 and 10 degrees Celsius higher by the end of the century. A civil war that has raged since 2011 has hobbled Syria’s ability to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

> Worst readiness dimension: Social readiness
> GDP per capita: $6,142 – #119 highest out of 182 countries
> Population: 32,866,268 – #44 highest out of 182 countries

This Western Africa country’s economy is heavily dependent on its oil industry, and about 85% of Angolans work in the agricultural sector, mostly as subsistence farmers. Floods, erosion, droughts, and epidemics are expected to become worse as the planet warms and sea levels rise. About half of the country’s population resides on the coast, making many Angolans susceptible to the impact of rising sea levels.

> Worst readiness dimension: Social readiness
> GDP per capita: $4,857 – #131 highest out of 182 countries
> Population: 54,409,794 – #26 highest out of 182 countries

The largest country in Southeast Asia is routinely threatened by its high exposure to flooding and tropical cyclones, as well as droughts in its drier interior. Rapid development in urban areas is not offering sufficient protection to natural hazards. A coup last year put Myanmar back under military rule, with little indication the regime is making climate change mitigation a priority despite having a high share of its (largely impoverished) population particularly susceptible to climate change hazards.

25. Nigeria
> Overall index score: 37.5 (tie)
> Vulnerability score: 0.50
> Worst vulnerability sector: Infrastructure
> Readiness score: 0.25
> Worst readiness dimension: Social readiness
> GDP per capita: $4,917 – #130 highest out of 182 countries
> Population: 206,139,587 – #7 highest out of 182 countries

The most populous country and largest economy in Africa is the top oil exporter in the continent. It also has the largest natural gas reserves. Though this large lower-middle-income country has an abundance of resources, about 40% of the population lives below the country’s poverty line. Water pollution, air pollution, oil spills, deforestation, erosion, and flooding due to inadequate infrastructure are common threats, many of which will worsen due to global warming and rising sea levels.

> Worst readiness dimension: Social readiness
> GDP per capita: $2,984 – #147 highest out of 182 countries
> Population: 869,595 – #155 highest out of 182 countries

This archipelagic country off the coast of East Africa near Madagascar is densely populated with more than half of the population living in what is considered at-risk areas for extreme weather. Deforestation to make room for agricultural activities has stripped this delicate ecosystem of its ability to retain rainfall and feed water into aquifers and rivers. Dahari, a local environmental nonprofit, estimates that Comoros has lost 40 rivers in the past 50 years.

> Worst readiness dimension: Social readiness
> GDP per capita: $2,156 – #158 highest out of 182 countries
> Population: 20,903,278 – #58 highest out of 182 countries

The landlocked low-income West African country has limited natural resources, and its people are heavily reliant on agricultural activities — about 80% of the population is working in the sector. With 40% of the country’s population living below the poverty line, Burkina Faso faces numerous development challenges, made worse by outbreaks of intercommunal conflict. The country is confronting more frequent flood-inducing rainfall in the east and decreases in precipitation and crippling droughts in the west.

> Worst readiness dimension: Social readiness
> GDP per capita: $1,509 – #166 highest out of 182 countries
> Population: 19,129,955 – #61 highest out of 182 countries

Increased frequency of droughts and floods poses the greatest environmental threat to this landlocked country in the southeast of the African continent. For example, in 2015, maize production plunged by 30% due to floods in the south, followed by a countrywide drought that put nearly one in five Malawians at risk of food insecurity. Extreme rainfall events and droughts are highly likely to increase in the decades to come.

17. Uganda
> Overall index score: 35.4
> Vulnerability score: 0.58
> Worst vulnerability sector: Water
> Readiness score: 0.29
> Worst readiness dimension: Social readiness
> GDP per capita: $2,175 – #156 highest out of 182 countries
> Population: 45,741,000 – #31 highest out of 182 countries

Like other countries in East Africa, the biggest threats to Uganda from climate change is the increased frequency of natural disasters like floods, droughts, and landslides. These hazards have reduced crop yields and increased loss of livestock among the country’s many subsistence farmers, threatening them with food insecurity. The situation is especially severe in the country’s northeastern Karamoja, one of the world’s poorest regions. Growing seasons have been disrupted by increased precipitation in months that were previously dry.

> Worst readiness dimension: Social readiness
> GDP per capita: $1,464 – #167 highest out of 182 countries
> Population: 27,691,019 – #51 highest out of 182 countries

Situated in the Indian Ocean off the African mainland coast, Madagascar averages about three tropical cyclones per year. As those storms become more frequent and more powerful, Madagascar will bear the brunt of these and other extreme weather events affecting East African coastlines. Rising temperatures and increased unpredictability of seasonal rainfall will exacerbate damage to agricultural activities in a country already grappling with high rates of food insecurity, deforestation, and soil erosion.

> Worst readiness dimension: Social readiness
> GDP per capita: $2,934 – #148 highest out of 182 countries
> Population: 11,402,533 – #81 highest out of 182 countries

Located in the center of the so-called “hurricane belt,” Haiti is the country in the Americas most vulnerable to climate change. As these tropical cyclones increase in frequency and force, Haitians will be susceptible to more flooding and landslides from stronger storm surges, exacerbated by massive deforestation that causes the land to soak up less rainfall. Precipitation is expected to decrease during the dry season, wreaking havoc on agricultural activities already harmed by soil erosion and salt-water intrusion into freshwater aquifers.
