OT: Quantifying Vulnerability to Climate Change: Implications for Adaptation Assistance - David Wheeler (.. check the tables on p15 and p22 ..) The most striking feature is the status of China and India (respectively 1st and 3rd among 233 countries) which rank at the top in risk (the probability of impact from an extreme weather event) as well as population. China’s risk increases fourfold, from 6% (6,772 per 100,000) to 25%, while India’s increases more than fourfold, from 2.6% of the population to 11.7%.
