Caption: This image illustrates the projected relative "socioclimactic" exposure for each country given expected 21st century climate change. Darkly shaded areas face a greater exposure to climate change based on the metrics of poverty, wealth and population. Purdue researchers and researchers at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, have taken a first step toward quantifying the "socioclimactic" exposure of different countries to future climate change.
