Measuring Impact, not Competitiveness. The Global Impact Index is a different way of looking at the world.
Nations spend a significant amount of their energy and resources competing against each other on dimensions such as production and consumption. Power and growth dominate our perspective. The Global Impact Index is a different way of looking at the world. It is a prototype summary measure, designed to capture the social and environmental outcomes that nations are delivering for their people and our planet.
Based on 50 impact indicators, representing 10 impact factors, the open-source index scores and ranks over 150 economies which account for more than 99% of the world's population and GDP.
