Relative Exposure for Each Country

Caption

This image illustrates the projected relative exposure for each country given expected 21st century climate change and the estimated levels of poverty and wealth. Darkly shaded areas face a greater exposure to climate change. Purdue researchers and researchers at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, have taken a first step toward quantifying the "socioclimatic" exposure of different countries to future climate change.
