Index
The Climate—Conflict—Vulnerability Index (CCVI) maps current global risks by integrating climate and conflict hazards with local vulnerabilities.

Latest quarter: Q3-2024
Index architecture
The CCVI metrics are organized hierarchically in three pillars — climate, conflict and vulnerability.
Each pillar is based on indicators from publicly available sources, which are further grouped into dimensions.
Following the IPCC definition, risk metrics are computed as a function of hazards, exposure and vulnerability.
Explore the data
The index comprises a harmonized set of data layers and a transparent scoring methodology to make regions globally comparable.
The data is updated quarterly and gridded to 0.5 degrees (ca. 55km by 55km at the equator).
About
Initiated and commissioned by the German Federal Foreign Office, the CCVI is created and evaluated in the context of a multi-year, interdisciplinary research effort.
