The 'Gross Domestic Climate Risk' (GDCR) has been analyzed to calculate the climate risk of over 2,600 regions worldwide by 2050. In this, UK-based climate organization Cross Dependency Initiative (XDI) has ranked Delhi at 446th position.
China, the US and India account for 80 per cent of the top 50 most vulnerable states and regions by 2050, according to the analysis.
