Risk Identification & Assessment

The INFORM initiative began in 2012 as a convergence of interests of UN agencies, donors, NGOs and research institutions to establish a common evidence-base for global humanitarian risk analysis.

The 2019 Human Development Report is the latest in the series of global Human Development Reports published by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) since 1990 as independent, analytically and empirically grounded discussions of major development issues, trends and policies.

This report sets out INFORM's vision for the future, includes the latest results of the Global Risk Index, as well as a prototype version of the INFORM Global Crisis Severity Index, which will be published as a beta version in 2019.

The aim of this report was to highlight existing capacities, challenges and gaps, as well as make recommendations for strengthening national and local capacities regarding DRR (including climate change risks) through key sectors.

This report describes the concept and methodology of the composite Index For Risk Management (INFORM). An initial version (version 2014) was completed and a first report published in January 2014, and was used in a 10 month process of peer review, user consultation and methodological improvements.
