Papua New Guinea has been ranked as one of the most affected countries by extreme weather events from 1990 to 2008.
This is according to a report on Global Climate Risk Index released by an organization called Germanwatch during the United Nation’s Climate change summit in Copenhagen.
The report analyses the quantified impacts of extreme weather events – both in terms of people that have died from them, as well as economic losses that occurred.
