Haiti is the nation most at risk from rising sea levels, floods and other impacts of climate change, according to a new global survey from the UK risk analysis firm Maplecroft.
Thirty countries are listed as being at “extreme risk”, with the top 10 comprising of Haiti, Bangladesh, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe, Madagascar, Cambodia, Mozambique, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi and Philippines.
The survey, the Climate Change Vulnerability Index, ranks nearly 200 nations in terms of vulnerability to climate change.
“Climate change and population growth form the two greatest challenges facing the world over the next century,” Maplecroft states in an online report.
As for cities, those most at risk are Calcutta in India, Manila in the Philippines, Jakarta in Indonesia and Dhaka and Chittagong in Bangladesh.
Iceland is the country which is forecast to suffer the least, the survey reports. The other best-performing countries in the survey are almost exclusively in Northern Europe, with Finland, Ireland, Sweden and Norway all in the top ten, as noted in a CNN report about the survey.
“The US is categorized as low risk, although some coastal regions, including Florida, Louisiana, Georgia, North and South Carolina were rated as ‘high risk,’” the CNN report notes.
海地最受气候变化影响；冰岛反之
根据英国风险评估公司Maplecroft发布的一份全球调查报告，海地是受海平面上升、洪水和气候变化带来的其它冲击影响最大的国家。
有30个国家被评估为“极度危险”的国家，其中位列前十国家依次是：海地、孟加拉、塞拉利昂、津巴布韦、马达加斯加、柬埔寨、莫桑比克、民主刚果、马拉维和菲律宾。
这项气候变化脆弱性指数调查，根据对气候变化的敏感性对将近200个国家一一排序。
Maplecroft在这份在线报告中指出:“在下个世纪，气候变化和人口增长构成了我们的世界面对的两个最大的挑战。”
以城市论，处境最危险的是印度的加尔各答、菲律宾的马尼拉、印度尼西亚的雅加达和孟加拉的达卡和吉大港。
报告称冰岛是受气候变化影响最小的国家。CNN在报道这份调查时指出，在调查中表现最好的国家主要集中在北欧，芬兰、爱尔兰和挪威都位列前十。
CNN同时指出，“虽然一些沿海地区像佛罗里达、路易斯安那、乔治亚和南、北卡罗莱纳等州被列为“高度风险地区”，但是美国整体仍被划归低风险国家。”
