Data insights	By ranking and pinpointing the most vulnerable districts and states, these insights empower policymakers and decision-makers to strategically prioritize locations for climate risk mitigation. This data-driven approach not only informs adaptation planning but also guides targeted investments in key sectors such as agriculture, water resources, and healthcare. With a focus on vulnerable regions like the Himalayas and coastal areas, these insights enable the development of high-impact projects for climate-focused funds such as the Green Climate Fund and Adaptation Fund. Moreover, these findings facilitate the fulfillment of Nationally Determined Contributions, ensuring a more resilient response to climate change. By integrating this data into disaster management strategies, these insights pave the way for proactive and effective risk reduction, making a substantial difference in climate resilience efforts.

Methodology	The methodology for vulnerability assessment is a systematic process involving the definition of scope, selection of assessment type, tier methods, sector, spatial scale, and assessment period. Indicators crucial for vulnerability evaluation are identified and quantified, with normalization techniques ensuring consistency. Indicators are then weighted and aggregated, providing a comprehensive representation of vulnerability. Through this structured approach, vulnerabilities are ranked, allowing for focused adaptation planning
