World Risk Index 2003

Report year 2003·Data year 2003

WorldRiskIndex score (0–100, where 100 is the most at risk)·Higher is worse — rank 1 is worst affected·Published by Institute for International Law of Peace and Armed Conflict (IFHV), Ruhr University Bochum

26 data years (2000–2025) for all 193 UN member states, imported from IFHV's trend file on the Humanitarian Data Exchange — one file, no gaps anywhere. ⚠ These are not 26 separately-published reports: IFHV recomputes the whole 2000–2025 trend on the current WorldRiskReport's methodology each year, the same shape as the HDI and the SDG Index, so the years are comparable with each other but not with what an earlier report printed. The score is a country's disaster risk: the geometric mean of its exposure to natural hazards and its vulnerability to them, so a HIGHER number is a worse result. ⚠ No rank is stored; the POSITION shown on the statistics page is derived here by ordering the score, and labelled as ours. The WorldRiskReport prints a ranking, but only inside its PDF — every machine-readable file IFHV publishes carries scores and no rank column. Unlike the Corruption Perceptions and Human Development imports, whose derived ranks were each checked against thousands of the publisher's own printed ranks before being trusted, there would be nothing here to check a derivation against, so the published score is what is stored.
