Economic Vulnerability Index
- Economic Vulnerability Index
Economic Vulnerability Index is a measure used by the United Nations to classify the development of the 192 member states. For instance, in order for a country to be classified as a developed country/industrialized country, it must graduate beyond a threshold set by the Economic Vulnerability Index.
The Economic (or Environmental) Vulnerability Index is a composition of 50 ecosystem indicators, including Hazards, Resistance, and Damage. Each country is considered independently, and scores range from Extremely Vulnerable to Resilient.
