I often find myself looking up indexes comparing economic development, environment, culture and social rights by country.

The World Bank

The World Bank is a global partnership of almost all countries in the world, that provides extensive data on economic development and related topics. It is five institutions working for sustainable solutions that reduce poverty and build shared prosperity in developing countries.

As such the site provide not only in depth information about topics related to economic growth in developing countries, but also on sharing working sustainable solutions for the benefit of all. Their data set bank has a wide range of information to draw from various areas of development.

The World Bank is a SDG partner.

The Social Progress Index

The Social Progress Imperative use indicators to rank how well countries meet basic humans needs, allow citizens and community to enhance and sustain the quality of their lives and create the conditions for all individuals to reach their full potential.

The Index attempts to create a sufficiently nuanced picture of what a healthy society looks like.

The Good Country

The Good Country index have taken it upon itself to use different indicators of how countries effects the international community and putting a value on those indicators. A “glass is half full” person will read it to see what countries are the most international benevolent countries in the world, another of the “glass is half empty” mind will look at it to determine which countries does the least harm to the world community.

The Good Country’s goal is to show that we are one species and as such, there are problems in current time that are best solved in collaboration cross borders and some countries are good at it in some areas and others are good at it in other areas. Learn from those that does it well and try not to sabotage the good intends.
