Wednesday, 11 October 2023 - 12:30pm

The Multidimensional Vulnerability Index () is a groundbreaking advancement in the understanding and measurement of vulnerability and development. In today's complex world, measuring a nation's progress and resilience cannot be confined to its income alone.

The MVI is a critical new tool in helping the most vulnerable countries move beyond cycles of shocks by putting an empirical measure on their vulnerability ¨C and thereby helping the international development finance system drive smarter and more impactful investments in preparedness, growing resilience over time.

Join members of the United Nations¡¯ High Level Panel in an informal discussion to unveil the data and findings of the MVI to hear about this innovative approach and the more nuanced picture of country¡¯s vulnerability and need that it presents.
