Readiness rankings | ND-GAIN Index

Readiness

A country's ND-GAIN index score is composed of a vulnerability score and a readiness score. Readiness measures a country’s ability to leverage investments and convert them to adaptation actions. ND-GAIN measures overall readiness by considering three components – economic readiness, governance readiness and social readiness.
