What the publisher changed

  • UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network recomputes its whole history each edition, so the earlier figures here are the current ones for those years, not the numbers printed at the time.

Coverage

167 countries. Ranks from 2015, backdated scores from 2000.

Limitations

Ranks and scores come from the publisher's backdated series, which recomputes every past year on the current method, so they deliberately differ from the figures printed in each year's original report. Years before 2015 carry a score but no rank, and are shown against the earliest published field size.
