INFORM Climate Change
Quantifying the impacts of climate and socio-economic trends on the risk of future humanitarian crises and disasters
This report presents results, analysis and findings from INFORM Climate Change, which provides quantified
estimates of the impacts of climate change on the future risk of humanitarian crises and disasters. It addresses a major
gap in climate and disaster risk research, which until now has predominantly based such risk forecasts on historical data
that do not take into account future projections of climate related impacts and socio-economic development.
INFORM Climate Change uses a new approach for understanding the impact of climate change on crisis and
disaster risk. It incorporates climate hazard/exposure and socio-economic projections into the framework of the
widely used INFORM Risk Index, which measures the risk of humanitarian crises that could result in a need for
international assistance. The result is a projection of how crisis risk will change in the future.
The results are intended to inform policy choices across climate mitigation, climate adaptation, disaster risk reduction,
sustainable development and humanitarian assistance.
