The DR is among the top ten nations in the world to be affected by tropical storms and natural disasters in the last 18 years. This information is included in Germanwatch's Global Climate Risk Index 2010, which lists the most severely affected countries.
Saleemul Huq, adaptation expert from the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) who is originally from Bangladesh, says: "The Germanwatch Climate Risk Index clearly shows the devastating impacts of extreme weather events on many poor countries, including my own".
Other countries from the region on the list are Honduras, Nicaragua and Haiti.
