Methodology: The ND-GAIN Country Index is composed of two key dimensions of adaptation: vulnerability and readiness. The vulnerability index contains indicators for exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. The readiness index contains indicators for economic, governance, and social factors. Climate vulnerability and adaptation readiness are based on compiled indicators. Thirty-six indicators contribute to ND-GAIN’s measure of vulnerability and nine indicators contribute to its measure of readiness. ND-GAIN score = (readiness score - vulnerability score +1) * 50
