Children’s climate risk index in the Middle East and North Africa in 2021, by country
Climate Change Risk Index (CCRI): Is a composite index used by UNICEF to assess the risk of environmental shocks and stresses related to climate change that amplify child impoverishment and/or humanitarian crises. It covers both the risk of being exposed to climate shocks and the vulnerability of children to such shocks.
CCRI ranges from 1 to 8.6, with a CCRI of 1 being the lowest risk for children with respect to climate change whereas a CCRI of 8.7, has the highest risk for children.
