International SOS releases Risk Map 2024: The threat of climate
                     change alongside growing security and health risks in 2024

                 As an industry-first, climate change risk levels present in countries around the world have
                           been added to the annual update to the International SOS Risk Map




                                                                              UAE, December 18, 2023




               The world’s leading security and health risk services company, International SOS, is today
               releasing its annual interactive  Risk Map 2024. The map has been  designed to help
               organisations and their mobile workers better understand their global risks.

               The Risk Map 2024 provides organisations with underlying medical and security risk ratings
               reflecting the impact of disruptive  events, such as the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and
               between  Israel  and  Hamas.  Using  data-driven  tools,  such  as  this  Risk  Map,  can  help
               organisations maintain their Duty of Care responsibilities  as global  security,  medical  and
               climate change risks continue to evolve.


































               For the first time, the Risk Map includes a layer which also outlines climate change risks.
               Compiled by INFORM (a collaboration between the Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate
               Change and Joint Research Centre of European Commission), the data provides quantified
               estimates of the impacts of climate change on the future  risk of humanitarian crises and
               disasters. This risk index is intended to inform policy choices across climate mitigation and
