With the increasing impacts of the changing climate scene being felt in various countries around the world, evidenced by wildfires sweeping through different regions due to rising temperatures, some nations have managed to prepare and fortify themselves against the consequences of climate change. Recent heat waves and record temperatures, among other severe climate phenomena, have highlighted the extent of countries' readiness to bear the burdens of climate change.
**Finland**
Finland stands out among these countries. Environmental and economic reports indicate that it will not face significant productivity losses due to global warming. In fact, Finland may benefit from rising temperatures by boosting tourism. As a result, Finland is considered one of the best-prepared countries for climate change, thanks to its high capacity for economic adaptation.
**Austria**
Another economically prepared country is Austria, a landlocked nation in Central Europe not at risk of sea level rise. This significantly shields Austria from the negative impacts of rising temperatures, and it enjoys high levels of government effectiveness and spending on research and development.
**Switzerland**
Switzerland, a neighbor of Austria, is another of the most protected countries against climate change. Also landlocked and not facing the threat of rising sea levels, Switzerland excels in infrastructure and green technological innovation, ranking high in economic adaptability.
**Portugal**
Portugal is also recognized as relatively safe from climate impacts, surprisingly not the first country that comes to mind. However, environmental reports assert that it is better protected from climate changes than its European neighbors, attributed to its diverse commercial sector, which is superior to economies reliant on imports from East Asia and the United States.
**Canada**
Canada has also successfully fortified itself, albeit seeming odd considering its cold regions affected by global warming. However, Canada remains insulated from economic losses and, like Finland, may benefit from rising average temperatures by enhancing its agriculture and tourism.
Thus, five countries emerge as the best fortified against the repercussions of climate change, according to the latest environmental data, highlighting the importance of implementing environmentally friendly policies by governments to protect their citizens.
