  well, its 2021 and this clearly did not pan out, Austraila had its worst fire in history last year, the western USA fires set new records every year leaving the air quality some of the worlds worse. the covid Lockdowns so far has made some of the cleanest air you will ever see in the Philippines and the arctic around russia had massive fires.

  where do you get this data from? so, the Balkans, Ukraine, Romania and Georgia are doomed, but countries like Spain (facing drought and extreme rase in temp.) and Holland (which will have a problem level rasing) are safe. and i´m glad US is safe. nothing about California and all the south west (Nevada, Colorado, Utah). and it´s important that Saudi Arabia will survive.

  Dear authors of this study: No - not buying it. Not even close. Why is Ukraine so different than the rest of Europe? Why is Haiti's climate so much different than the other half of the Island? This reeks of some foreign aid policy or wealth transfer initiative seeking justification. I'm not sure if it's an example of poverty or intellectual poverty. Shame on the formerly Catholic University of Notre Dame for lending legitimacy to this nonsense.

  Important to note that the maps from ND-Gain index show adaptation resilience rankings. They do NOT show "countries most likely to survive climate change'. Eco-experts are providing a deeply misleading infographic in this respect. Survival depends on urgent action on cutting emissions starting now (as the IPCC clearly state). Suggesting that some countries will 'survive' continued emissions leading to ever greater warming is nonsense.

  The infographics are inaccurate for the least... Due to the rise of oceans, global climate change will affect ALL coutries with large coastal surfaces, most of these coastal areas are occupied by large developped metropoles, so those countries will also tahe a hit economically speaking. Also,the large surfaces of permafrost in the Norhtern hemisphere, (a third of the Asian Russia and some 40% of Canada) will defrost, the roads and natural resources exploitations (gas, shale gas, bitouminous sands, tar, oil, coal, diamonds and gold) presently operated in the area and supporting the economies of Russia, former Soviets and Canada (as well as Alaska, USA) will again impact greatly those countries. So your map appears to be more likely related to the present economical situation rather than the global climate change...

  I\\\'m not convinced, China has terrible levels of pollution , Australia is one of the hottest places on earth. With global warning floods and water levels will rise affecting coastline not shown here. How. About Manhattan and areas in the UK. As it is Somerset floods every winter. not a very well explained map. Nice idea... Though
