Maplecroft's Climate Change Vulnerability Index (CCVI), which forms a central pillar of the Atlas, classifies seven cities at 'extreme risk', out of a list 50 that were chosen for their current and future importance to global business.

Multinational companies operating in the Asian growth economies will be exposed to spiraling environmental risks over the coming decades, according to Maplecroft's 5th annual Climate Change and Environmental Risk Atlas, which identifies Dhaka, Manila, Bangkok, Yangon, Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh City, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai as the ten cities facing the maximum risk from the onset of climate change.
