Lack of Resilience Index:Lack of Resilience represents the combination of susceptibility to impact and the relative inability to absorb, respond to, and recover from negative impactsthat do occur over the short term. China ranks 82 out of 165 on the Lack of Resilience index with a score of 0.43. Russia ranks 99 out of 165 on the Lack ofResilience index with a score of 0.38. South Korea ranks 137 out of 165 on the Lack of Resilience index with a score of 0.25. There was insufficient data todetermine the Lack of Resilience Index score for North Korea.

China ranks 82 out of 165 on the Lack of Resilience Index. Based on the sub-component scores related to Vulnerability and Coping Capacity, the threethematic areas with the weakest relative scores are Environmental Capacity, Governance and Marginalization.

Russia ranks 99 out of 165 on the Lack of Resilience Index. Based on the sub-component scores related to Vulnerability and Coping Capacity, the threethematic areas with the weakest relative scores are Governance, Marginalization and Environmental Capacity.

South Korea ranks 137 out of 165 on the Lack of Resilience Index. Based on the sub-component scores related to Vulnerability and Coping Capacity, thethree thematic areas with the weakest relative scores are Environmental Capacity, Environmental Stress and Governance.
