globalvuln

Compare the concepts, structures, sources and coverage of published global indices, and access country-level data in R.

Use the browser explorer to understand the indices, or the R package for your own analysis. Publisher scores retain their original scales; missing coverage does not mean low vulnerability. The package produces no combined cross-index meta-score.

Using these resources

Define what you want to compare before choosing an index: risk, crisis severity, fragility, development and other concepts are distinct. Read the publisher’s methodology and check coverage and source periods. In R, choose explicitly between the installed snapshot and the latest approved data, and record the version used.
