Hazard framing
Directional indicator
Climate-risk framing combines regional hazard categories (heat, water, coastal, seismic) with national adaptation capacity.
Adaptation context
Structured benchmark context
Adaptation capacity is interpreted against published references rather than a single risk-index value.
Verified local dataset
Pending integration
Source-backed climate-risk metrics will appear when the platform integrates verified city-level data.

Interpretation
Climate-risk scoring combines hazard exposure with adaptation capacity. Cities with active resilience programmes reduce expected loss even where exposure is meaningful. Across the indexed cities the climate risk average is 69/100, so La Unión is 11 points below the median. Data year 2025; last updated 2026-05-16. Drawn from 4 institutional references.
