0. Core conclusions
- Climate stress on livelihoods is present tense, and at record scale. Disasters triggered 45.8 million internal displacements worldwide in 2024, the highest since monitoring began in 2008; 99.5% were weather-related verified [S7]. Heat-related deaths averaged ~546,000/yr in 2012–2021, up 63% from the 1990s estimate [S6]. Heat cost ~639–640 billion potential labour hours in 2024, worth ~US$1.09 trillion, near 1% of global GDP estimate [S6].
- Deaths are the first loss proven compressible — even as hazards intensify. Bangladesh cut cyclone deaths from 300,000–500,000 (Bhola, 1970) to roughly 3,000 for comparable storms — a hundredfold decline in the World Bank's phrasing verified [S9][S29]. Philippines: Haiyan (2013) killed 6,293 with 126,000 pre-emptively evacuated; Rai (2021) caused comparable destruction, but 826,125 were evacuated ahead of landfall and 409 died verified [S37][S39][S40]. Early warning + pre-emptive evacuation + shelters is the strongest-evidence, lowest-unit-cost pattern here (P1).
- Monetary losses are not yet compressible, and increasingly land on the unprotected. Pakistan 2022 floods: US$14.9bn damage + US$15.2bn losses, US$16.3bn reconstruction needs, 33 million affected, an estimated 8.4–9.1 million pushed into poverty verified [S26][S27]. Nigeria 2022 floods: median direct damage US$6.68bn verified [S41]. Lancet Countdown: US$304bn in 2024 global losses from weather extremes, +58.9% vs the 2010–14 average estimate [S6]. Evacuation saves lives; it does not protect homes, fields, or businesses.
- Heat is shifting from "extreme event" to a daily livelihoods tax. China's 2025 mean temperature tied 2024 as the highest since 1951, with a record 16.5 hot days (≥35°C) since 1961 verified [S10]; India's 2024 was its warmest year since 1901 verified [S21]. Evaluated countermeasures are cheap: Ahmedabad's Heat Action Plan was associated with ~1,190 avoided deaths/yr (95% CI 162–2,218; observational) verified [S24]; Thailand's study finds efficient AC the cheapest peak resource (~0.76 baht per kWh saved) estimate [S58].
- Exposure is not risk: state capability decides how big a hole the same weather punches. China has the world's highest disaster exposure (WRI exposure 64.59, rank 1) yet ranks 9th composite and 124th on INFORM verified/derived [S1][S2][S3]. Solutions must be tiered: for strong states the frontier is compound shocks (China's 2022 heat × drought × hydropower chain); for weak states it is fiscal space and the last mile.
- At least eight solution patterns recur with cost evidence (Section 3): warning and evacuation (~US$800m/yr in developing countries avoids US$3–16bn/yr; 24h warning cuts damage ~30% — Global Commission on Adaptation verified [S8]); heat action plans; shock-responsive social protection and anticipatory cash (US$53 before a flood cut the odds of a day without eating by 36%, quasi-experimental verified [S34]); efficient cooling; water efficiency and new sources; stress-tolerant crops; distributed solar (Nigeria's DARES targets 17.5m people verified [S44]); urban flood management. Common law: systems built in advance — registries, volunteer networks, shelters, standards — determine disaster-time performance; improvising afterwards is always slower and more expensive.
- Data gaps are themselves a finding. Subnational, end-use, and informal-sector data are scarce everywhere; India's heatwave deaths differ by an order of magnitude across tallies; China does not systematically publish provincial hourly load or heat-attributable excess mortality — stated factually, without speculation, per this study's public-safety rules.
1. Risk indicators, nine countries
The four indices measure different things: CRI = realized impacts (retrospective); WRI and INFORM = exposure × vulnerability (× coping); ND-GAIN = vulnerability + readiness. Read from original files 2026-09-26 verified/derived [S1][S2][S3][S4]. INFORM 2026 scores not retrieved unverified.
| Country | ND-GAIN 2026 score (rank/190, 1=best) | INFORM 2025 (rank/191, 1=highest risk) | WRI 2025 rank (score) | CRI 1995–2024 / 2024 |

1.1 Heat–cooling–power pressure indicators (data layer, first tranche)
Cooling access and peak-demand growth are the two most direct gauges of how heat becomes a livelihoods problem.
| Country | Household AC ownership | National/system peak electricity demand |
| China | 60% (2018, IEA) verified [S63]; per 100 households: urban 171.7 / rural 105.7 (2023) secondhand [S20] | 1,451 GW (2024) → 1,508 GW (2025), +57 GW; two annual points only, no trend computed verified [S69] |
| India | 5% (2018, IEA) verified [S63] | FY2013-14→FY2024-25 ≈+5.9%/yr (CEA series) verified/derived [S65] |
| Philippines | <10% (2017, upper bound only) secondhand [S64] | 2003–2025 ≈+3.9%/yr (DOE series) verified/derived [S66] |
| Egypt | No verifiable national rate (gap) | ~2010–2024 ≈+3.5%/yr (Ministry of Electricity/EEHC series) verified/derived [S67] |
| Thailand (ref.) | ~55% of households (media figure) secondhand [S58] | 2010–2025 ≈+2.5%/yr (EGAT series) verified/derived [S68] |
| Indonesia (non-core) | 9% (2018, IEA) verified [S63] | No public series (gap) |
| Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria, Mozambique | No verifiable national rate (gap) | No public series (gap) |
Two readings. (1) The cooling gap is the adaptation gap — China at 60% vs India at 5% and the Philippines/Vietnam below 10% means the latter cannot buffer heat mortality and lost work hours by "going home to the AC", and cooling demand will multiply from a very low base. (2) Peak growth generally exceeds routine planning assumptions — India's ~5.9%/yr doubles the peak roughly every 12 years derived. Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Nigeria are highly heat-exposed yet publish no peak series — stated as gaps.
2. Country studies (conclusions first)
2.1 China — highest exposure, strong capacity: the test case for adaptation at scale
- 2025 mean temperature 10.9°C (+1.0°C vs normal), tying 2024 as the highest since 1951; 16.5 hot days, most since 1961; the North China rainy season set volume and duration records verified [S10][S11].
- 2024 disasters: 94.13m person-times affected, 856 dead/missing, 3.645m emergency relocations, RMB 401.11bn direct losses verified [S12], ~0.3% of GDP derived.
- Compound shock on display: 2022's 64-day Yangtze heat event (National Climate Centre, via press) plus drought forced power rationing in hydro-dependent Sichuan secondhand [S16][S17]. National peak load hit 1,508 GW in July 2025, +57 GW over 2024's 1,451 GW (two annual points only) verified [S69].
- World's largest response: wind+solar 1.84 TW, 47.3% of capacity by end-2025, overtaking thermal verified [S13][S14]; National Adaptation Strategy 2035 issued by 17 ministries (2022) verified [S15].
- Urban flood lesson: sponge-city pilots cost US$15–22m/km² verified [S19], designed for ~180–200 mm/24h, vs Zhengzhou 2021's 800–900 mm/day (scholar's view via press) secondhand [S18]; the State Council investigation (as reported) recorded 398 dead/missing secondhand. Engineering + warning + evacuation must be combined.
- Data gaps (stated as gaps, no speculation): provincial hourly load not published; no systematic official series on heat-attributable excess deaths.
2.2 India — the largest heat-exposed population, birthplace of the heat action plan
- 2024: warmest year since 1901 (+0.65°C) verified [S21]; IMD release: ~2,400 extreme-weather deaths verified [S21]; media citing the full IMD summary: 3,200+ total, 459 from heatwaves secondhand [S22]; CSE: heatwaves on 77 of the first 274 days verified [S23]. The divergence is itself the data gap.
- The cooling gap is the core variable: ~5% household AC ownership in 2018 (China: 60%) verified [S63]; peak demand ≈+5.9%/yr FY2013-14→FY2024-25 (CEA) verified/derived [S65].
- Ahmedabad HAP (2013, South Asia's first): ~1,190 avoided deaths/yr (95% CI 162–2,218, observational) verified [S24][S62]; replicated across states and cities.
- India Cooling Action Plan (2019): by 2037–38, cooling demand −20–25%, cooling energy −25–40% verified [S25].
2.3 Pakistan — one flood erases years of development
- 2022 floods: a third of the country under water; 33m affected, ~8m displaced, >1,730 dead verified [S26][S27].
- Joint PDNA: US$14.9bn damage + US$15.2bn losses, US$16.3bn needs; housing worst hit (US$5.6bn); katcha (mud-brick) homes took 78% of housing damage; 8.4–9.1m pushed into poverty verified [S26].
- Pre-built registries decide cash speed: BISP paid Rs 25,000 to ~2.7m families (Rs 70bn, 97%+ disbursed) within weeks via the NSER registry verified [S28].
- Data-layer check: no verifiable national AC ownership rate, no public peak-demand series (gaps).
2.4 Bangladesh — how deaths fell a hundredfold
- Bhola (1970): 300,000–500,000 dead (deadliest cyclone on record, WMO); comparable storms now kill ~3,000; >2m evacuated ahead of Amphan (2020) verified [S9][S29].
- The mechanism is a system: the government–Red Crescent CPP with 55,000–76,000 volunteers carrying warnings door-to-door verified [S31]; shelters that double as schools verified [S29][S30].
- Anticipatory cash, quasi-experimental: US$53 four days before the 2020 flood (145,000 people) cut the odds of a day without eating by 36%; lower asset losses, less costly borrowing; ~100 days earlier than traditional aid verified [S34][S35].
- Delta Plan 2100: ~US$38bn capital plan, 2.5% GDP target verified [S32]. Counter-evidence: neighbour adoption of new saline-tolerant rice just 2.55%/0.80%; demonstrations add 11–18 pp — breeding success ≠ livelihood improvement verified [S36].
- Solar home systems: 4.13m units / 18m people by 2019 (IDCOL) verified [S33].
2.5 Philippines — world's highest risk index: an eight-year before/after on evacuation
| Indicator | Haiyan 2013 | Rai 2021 | Source |
| Deaths | 6,293 | 409 | verified [S37][S39] |
| Pre-emptive evacuation | 125,604 | 826,125 (2,861 centres) | verified [S39][S59] |
| Affected population | ≈16.08m | ≈16m | verified [S37][S40] |
- ~20 tropical cyclones enter the area of responsibility yearly, 8–9 crossing — the world's most verified [S38]. OCHA attributes the mortality gap to pre-emptive evacuation and post-Haiyan warning investment verified [S40].
- The unsolved problem has moved from saving lives to saving livelihoods; the UN piloted anticipatory-action financing (US$7.5m CERF) verified [S59].
- The next gap beyond typhoons: AC ownership <10% (2017, upper bound) secondhand [S64]; peak demand ≈+3.9%/yr 2003–2025 (DOE) verified/derived [S66].
2.6 Nigeria — floods stacked on the world's largest electricity access gap
- 2022 floods: >600 dead, 3.2m affected, 1.4m displaced; direct damage US$3.79–9.12bn (median 6.68) verified [S41]. 2024: the Alau dam failed after extreme rain; ~15% of Maiduguri flooded, >1m affected secondhand [S42] (mechanism described; no party blamed).
- ~85m people (43%) lack grid power — the world's largest deficit; unreliable power costs ~US$25–26bn/yr (~2% GDP) verified [S43][S45].
- DARES (US$750m IDA) targets access for 17.5m and replacing 250,000+ fuel generators; predecessor NEP connected 5.5m verified [S44].
- Data-layer check: no verifiable AC ownership rate, no public peak series — for a country where 43% lack electricity, these gaps are themselves telling.
2.7 Ethiopia — four failed rainy seasons: social protection as drought first response
- 2020–23 Horn of Africa drought: at least four consecutive failed rainy seasons; >30m people food-insecure across Ethiopia/Kenya/Somalia verified [S47].
- PSNP: ~2.5m households / 8m regular beneficiaries; shock-year scale-ups average +3.8m; the 2011 expansion was assessed by the World Bank as timelier and cheaper than relief verified [S46][S48].
- Counter-evidence: during the 2020–22 northern conflict, >1m beneficiaries in Tigray lost transfers (facts per the cited source; no attribution of blame) verified [S48].
- ~56m people without electricity (2020, world's third largest) verified [S45].
2.8 Mozambique — the rebuild loop: cyclone frequency outpacing fiscal recovery
- Idai (2019): 603 dead, 1.5m+ affected; Kenneth six weeks later — first recorded season with two strong landfalls; combined damage ~US$3bn, needs ~US$3.4bn verified [S49][S50].
- Since then, every one to two years: Freddy (2023) 492k+ affected, 53 dead verified [S51]; Chido (2024) 454k affected, 120 dead verified [S52]. Reconstruction unfinished when the next storm lands.
- Tools include ARC parametric insurance and warning investment verified [S51]; the financing gap keeps dependence on international funds high.
2.9 Egypt — chronic scarcity: no "disaster day", but tighter every year
- Renewable water per capita ~570 m³/yr by 2018 (from ~2,000 in the 1960s; scarcity line 1,000); the Nile supplies ~97–98% of renewable water; the ~55.5bn m³/yr allocation has been roughly fixed for decades while population passed 100m verified [S53][S54][S55]. Upstream development adds uncertainty; negotiations continue (no position taken).
- Peak demand ≈+3.5%/yr over ~2010–2024 (Ministry of Electricity/EEHC) verified/derived [S67]; no verifiable national AC ownership rate (gap).
- Response: US$50bn national water plan to 2037 verified [S53]; canal lining targeting 20,000 km (3,134 km by 2021) secondhand [S57]; desalination to 8.85m m³/day by 2050 verified [S56]. Engineering volumes verified; independent water-savings evaluations missing.
2.10 Thailand (reference) — the completed energy/cooling template
- Core finding: no shortage of capacity, a shortage of cheap evening power; AC efficiency is the cheapest peak measure (~0.76 baht per kWh saved; ~2,150 MW off the evening peak; 2–4-year household payback) estimate [S58].
- Data-layer addition: EGAT peak demand ≈+2.5%/yr over 2010–2025, the lowest checkable series in this study verified/derived [S68].
3. Cross-country solution patterns (P1–P8)
P1 Early warning + pre-emptive evacuation + shelters (evidence: strong)
- Evidence: Bangladesh's hundredfold decline [S9][S29]; Philippines Haiyan→Rai counterfactual [S37][S39][S40]; China's routinized 3.645m relocations in 2024 [S12].
- Cost: ~US$800m/yr in developing countries avoids US$3–16bn/yr; 24h warning cuts damage ~30%; benefits ≥10× cost (GCA) verified [S8].
- Failure modes: forecasts without the last mile; too few shelters; no effect on property losses.
P2 City/sector heat action plans (evidence: medium)
- Ahmedabad: ~1,190 avoided deaths/yr (observational) verified [S24]; mostly organizational, not capital, cost.
- Failure modes: warnings without changed work arrangements; night-time heat; households without cooling have nowhere to go (links to P4).
P3 Shock-responsive social protection + anticipatory cash (evidence: fairly strong)
- Bangladesh US$53 anticipatory cash: −36% odds of a day without eating (quasi-experimental) [S34][S35]; Ethiopia PSNP scale-ups assessed timelier and cheaper than relief [S48]; Pakistan BISP: Rs 70bn within weeks [S28].
- The point: spend in peacetime on registries and payment rails. Failure modes: the unregistered fall through; conflict interrupts payments; transfers lag inflation.
P4 Efficient cooling: standards, replacement, financing (evidence: strong on engineering/cost)
- Thailand: ~0.76 baht per kWh saved, ~5× cheaper than new gas capacity estimate [S58]; India's ICAP sets national targets [S25].
- The cross-country reading: AC ownership China 60%, India 5%, Indonesia 9% (2018) verified [S63]; Philippines/Vietnam <10% (2017, upper bound) secondhand [S64]. Peak demand is moving first: India ≈+5.9%/yr, Philippines ≈+3.9%, Egypt ≈+3.5%, Thailand ≈+2.5% [S65]–[S68]; China +57 GW in one year [S69]. Locking in efficiency standards and financing before the ownership boom is this pattern's window.
- Failure modes: standards without financing; poor installation/maintenance; the unelectrified are out of reach (links to P7).
P5 Water efficiency and new sources (evidence: weak–medium)
- Verified volumes, not effects: Egypt's lining, desalination, water plan [S53][S56][S57]; independent savings evaluations missing — the study's largest evaluation gap.
- Failure modes: lined canals cut "losses" that recharged groundwater; desalination costs pass into tariffs.
P6 Stress-tolerant crops and extension (evidence: medium; adoption is the bottleneck)
- Bangladesh's saline-tolerant rice performs, but neighbour adoption is 2.55%/0.80%; demonstrations add 11–18 pp verified [S36]. Variety released ≠ problem solved.
P7 Distributed renewables (evidence: fairly strong on access)
- Bangladesh 4.13m systems / 18m people [S33]; Nigeria NEP 5.5m connected + DARES targeting 17.5m [S44].
- Failure modes: unprofitable low-income areas; stranded assets when the grid arrives; battery-lifetime neglect.
P8 Urban flood management and "sponge cities" (evidence: medium; explicit ceiling)
- China's 30 pilots, US$15–22m/km² [S19]; effective within design standards, powerless against Zhengzhou-2021-scale extremes (scholar's view via press) secondhand [S18]. Must be combined with P1.

4. Policy options menu (no advocacy)
| Capability tier | First priority (strongest evidence) | Second | Long term |
| Strong (China-type) | Compound-shock stress tests (heat × drought × power); maintain the warning-to-evacuation chain | Cooling equity (rural ownership gap); sponge + warning combinations | Evaluation loop for the adaptation strategy |
| Middle (India/Philippines/Thailand-type) | Nationalize heat action plans; standardize pre-emptive evacuation | Cooling standards + on-bill financing; institutionalize anticipatory action | Housing standards and reconstruction finance |
| Weak (Ethiopia/Mozambique/Nigeria-type) | Registries + payment rails; last-mile warning | Distributed solar; parametric insurance | Fiscal tools for the rebuild loop |
| Chronic stress (Egypt-type) | Independent evaluation of water-efficiency works (measure before scaling) | Cost-sharing for desalination and reuse | Basin cooperation (outside this study's scope) |
5. Limitations and data gaps
- Coverage: no representation of the Americas or small island states; Chad, Somalia, Haiti, Myanmar excluded as chapters on data grounds.
- Definition risk: India's heat deaths differ by an order of magnitude across tallies; China's 2025 anomaly has bulletin (+1.0°C) and quick-release (+1.1°C) figures — the bulletin is used.
- Estimate dependence: Lancet, GCA, and Thailand cooling costs are model/screening estimates; not a basis for investment decisions.
- Data-layer progress: tranche 1 (AC ownership; peak-demand series) merged 2026-09-26; no verifiable data found for Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria, Mozambique, Chad (and Egypt's AC rate) — stated as gaps. Still pending: INFORM 2026, Egypt's Aqueduct score.
- Only P1 and P3 have multi-country, multi-year effectiveness evidence; P5 (water) has almost none.
