Indices and Organisations: Memorize Faster

Last updated on November 16, 2018 by Clear IAS Team

Indices and Organisations - India's rankIn the last post, we wrote about the names of reports published by various organisations and their importance in UPSC exams. In this post, as a continuation, we have prepared the list of indices and associated organisations. For example, Human Development Index (HDI) is prepared by UNDP as part of Human Development Report.

What is an index?

An index a sign or measure of something (plural: indices). In economics and finance, an index is a statistical measure of changes in a representative group of individual data points. These data may be derived from any number of sources.

(c) UN Women

    8. Environmental Performance Index
    WEF (World Economic Forum)

    This index was developed from the Pilot Environmental Performance Index, first published in 2002, and designed to supplement the environmental targets set forth in the United Nations Millennium Development Goals.

    The EPI was preceded by the Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI), published between 1999 and 2005. Both indexes were developed by Yale University (Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy ) and Columbia University (Center for International Earth Science Information Network ) in collaboration with the World Economic Forum and the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.
