Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

The Climate Risk Index (CRI) 2026, released by the environmental think tank Germanwatch at COP30 (November 2025), analyzes the impacts of extreme weather events over the 30-year period from 1995 to 2024. The report distinguishes between countries hit by catastrophic, "unusually extreme" events (such as Dominica, Myanmar, and Honduras) and those facing "recurring extreme events" (also referred to as "continuous threats").

According to the CRI 2026, Haiti, the Philippines, Nicaragua, and India are specifically identified as countries affected by recurring extreme events. These nations experience frequent and repeated disasters—such as floods, cyclones, and heatwaves—that leave little time for recovery between events, leading to cumulative human and economic losses. India, for example, recorded over 430 extreme weather events during this 30-year timeframe, ranking 9th in the long-term index.
