Due to new and evolving conflicts, some of the most notable risk
rating increases this year have been parts of Lebanon, Palestinian
Territories, Russia and across the Sahel. Ecuador and parts of
Colombia have also increased following a consistent rise in
criminality and unrest.

In some regions, the risk rating has decreased. Most notably, the
risk ratings for El Salvador and parts of Nepal have reduced
following sustained downward trends across a number of risk
factors.

The Risk Map is an important risk management tool, which
assesses medical, security and climate change risks on a five-level
scale – from ‘Low’ to ‘Very High’ for the medical and climate
change layers, and ‘Insignificant’ to ‘Extreme’ for the security
layer[i]. The layers of the map use a combination of internal and
external data which International SOS’ expert team analyses.
