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
