www.climateadaptationexchange.com; ND-Global Adaptation Index is the world’s leading index showing which countries are best prepared to deal with the droughts, superstorms and other natural disasters climate change can cause.ND-GAIN, a free and open-source resource, ranks countries based on how vulnerable they are to climate change, and how prepared they are to adapt to the storms, fires, and heat waves that scientists predict will increase in the coming decades. The index moved to Notre Dame from Washington, D.C., in April, 2013.Corporate and government leaders use ND-GAIN to make strategic operational and reputational decisions based on countries' climate risks and readiness to adapt, thus helping decision-makers avoid costs, manage liabilities and build resilience to climate change impacts throughout the value chain. ND-GAIN also informs market expansion by identifying which countries are ready for products and services that increase adaptation.As developing country governments seek corporate partners who can effectively deliver goods and services that support high-priority efforts to address over-crowding, resource constraints and climate disruption, demand for ND-GAIN grows. ND-GAIN helps companies earn the license to lead by providing information that contributes to community wealth creation and increased community resilience, as well as corporate ROI.By providing a navigation chart to measure vulnerability and readiness, the ND-GAIN is helping reorient leaders' actions to focus on the collateral benefits of adaptation and resiliency.
