From the ACAPS INFORM Severity dataset, taking the last release of each year. Where a country has more than one crisis the most severe is shown, because ACAPS publishes no combined country figure. The series stops at 2025: ACAPS moved to a 1–10 scale in January 2026, and importing both would show every country’s severity doubling overnight.
