WorldRiskIndex — Institute for International Law of Peace and Armed Conflict

The WorldRiskIndex is a statistical model that provides an assessment of the latent risk of 193 countries falling victim to a humanitarian disaster caused by extreme natural events and the negative impacts of climate change.

Accordingly, both main spheres of disaster risk, exposure and vulnerability, are treated as equals. The WorldRiskIndex was initially developed in 2011 by the United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS) for Bündnis Entwicklung Hilft as a model with 27 indicators to analytically li Publisher: Institute for International Law of Peace and Armed Conflict (via Humanitarian Data Exchange (UN OCHA)). Delivered as a cleaned, analysis-ready CSV table.
