        International SOS releases Risk Map 2024: The


        threat of climate change alongside growing

        security and health risks in 2024



        19/12/2023

        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 adaptation, disaster risk reduction, sustainable development and humanitarian
        assistance for greater resilience to the adverse impacts of climate change.

        The 2024 Risk Map can be used as a tool to build a comprehensive view of the risk landscape around the
        world.



        Climate change increases health risks
        International SOS is seeing a rising trend in the number of climate-related alerts being issued to clients as

        rising global temperatures are increasing health risks around the world. Greater support has been requested
