From the document: "The Ecological Threat Report (ETR) is a comprehensive, data-driven analysis covering 3,594 sub-national areas across 221 countries and territories. It covers 99.99 per cent of the world's population and assesses threats relating to food insecurity, water risk, demographic pressures, and natural disasters. This report identifies countries that have the highest risk, both now and in the future, of suffering from major disasters due to the ecological threats they face, the lack of societal resilience, and other factors. These countries are also the most likely to suffer from conflict. The 2023 ETR aims to provide an impartial, data-driven foundation for the debate about ecological threats facing countries and sub-national areas and to inform the design of resilience-building policies and contingency plans."

From the document: "Climate change has resulted in verified impacts to populations, infrastructure, and the economy across the nation. The acceleration of climate change will increase the frequency and intensity of natural disasters and thereby increase the probability of climate-related threats. By anticipating increased response and recovery demands generated by more extreme and frequent disasters, emergency managers can devise ways to manage the impacts from changing climate patterns. This guidance is intended to provide FEMA national and regional planners with an overview of changes to the risk profiles of climate-related hazards for every region so that they may conduct appropriate response and recovery planning activities. Adapting risk profiles for established hazards requires guidance on how to find and incorporate climate information. Most FEMA deliberate plans are developed for the national and regional levels. Typically, these plans are based on short-term assumptions about future conditions using observed data on meteorological conditions. While historical data are essential, they are no longer sufficient given the reality of climate change. Using a defined timeframe and operational area, emergency management planners can define climate-related risks and validate anticipated impacts by accessing authoritative climate resources."
