Report year 2017Data year 2016
INFORM Risk score (0–10, where 10 is the highest risk)Higher is worse — rank 1 is worst affectedPublished by European Commission Joint Research Centre, with the Inter-Agency Standing Committee
10 editions (2017–2026) covering 191 countries, from the JRC's own trend file. Each edition is named for the year it is published and is built from data for the year before, so the 2026 edition describes 2025. The score combines three dimensions — hazard and exposure, vulnerability, and lack of coping capacity — all of which are stored alongside it. ⚠ It measures HUMANITARIAN CRISIS risk, which includes conflict, displacement and political fragility, where the World Risk Index measures exposure to natural hazards. They are near neighbours but not duplicates: Afghanistan sits near the top here and mid-table there. ⚠ ⚠ INFORM publishes five risk classes rather than an ordinal ranking. A POSITION is derived here (2026-09-10) by ordering the score, and the score is published to ONE DECIMAL, so 191 countries hold only 65 distinct values between them: the deepest run is ten countries at 2.6, all sharing position 138. Neighbouring positions should be read as the same reading, which is exactly what INFORM’s own classes say.
