Climate Conflict Vulnerability Index: Global 0.5-Degree Risk Grids

Global geospatial risk metrics gridded at 0.5-degree resolution integrate climate and conflict hazards with local vulnerability indicators. Produced by the Climate–Conflict–Vulnerability Index organization, the data is updated quarterly and includes historical time series in Parquet format.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the correlation between climate hazards and conflict incidents within specific 0.5-degree grid cells
• Trend analysis of regional vulnerability scores using the historical time series data
• Risk assessment for humanitarian aid allocation based on the integrated climate-conflict-vulnerability metrics

Strengths

• 0.5-degree global grid resolution
• Quarterly update frequency
• Includes historical time series in Parquet format
• Harmonized scoring methodology across climate and conflict pillars

Limitations

• Spatial resolution of 55km may be too coarse for local urban planning
• Reliance on publicly available source data may introduce reporting lags from original sources
