Impact Overview
The Global Impact Index is an open-source initiative that equally weights 50 impact indicators, across 10 impact factors for more than 150 countries that together account for more than 99% of the world's population and GDP. The chart below shows this countries score overall and for each of the 10 factors as well as the best performer for each factor and country rank.

Country Context
When interpreting the Global Impact Index 1.0 it is important to reflect on each countries context. The population, land area and national GDP bias impact indicators in various ways. While many impact indicators are expressed on a comparative population, land mass or GDP basis, there are circumstances where outliers on all dimensions are advantaged or disadvantaged.
