This climate change map indicates which countries are most likely to survive. Created by Eco Experts, the infographic includes information from the Notre Dame Global Adaptation (ND-Gain) Index and their ranking of states that have the highest likelihood of surviving devastating results of climate change.
The UK, Audralia and Scandinavian countries like Norway, Sweden and Finland appear to fare the best according to the climate change map. While North America and most of Europe will be ok, it comes as no surprise that the global south are at extreme risk. Thisincludes most of Africa and developing countries in Asia and the Middle East, such as Afghanistan, Myanmar and Yemen.
Unfortunately, this infographic will likely do nothing to rouse the passions of people in North America and Europe to take action.

Trend Themes
1. Climate Change Adaptation - The need for countries to adapt to the effects of climate change opens up opportunities for innovative solutions in areas such as infrastructure, agriculture, and disaster management.
2. Global Risk Assessment - The growing awareness of climate change-related risks creates a demand for advanced methodologies and tools to assess the vulnerability and resilience of countries and regions.
3. International Collaboration - Addressing the global threat of climate change requires increased collaboration between countries, creating opportunities for partnerships in research, technology transfer, and policy development.
Industry Implications
1. Renewable Energy - The shift towards renewable energy sources like solar and wind power presents a significant opportunity to mitigate the impacts of climate change and reduce carbon emissions.
2. Green Infrastructure - The demand for climate-resilient infrastructure solutions, such as sustainable urban planning, green buildings, and flood management systems, provides opportunities for innovation in the construction and engineering sectors.
3. Climate Risk Management - The need to improve risk assessment and develop strategies to manage climate-related risks opens up opportunities for consulting firms, insurance companies, and technology providers specializing in climate risk management.
