Multidimensional Vulnerability: Data Unveiling

The Multidimensional Vulnerability Index (MVI) 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 – 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.

• Gaston Browne, Prime Minister of Antigua & Barbuda, Co-Chair of the High-Level Panel on MVI
• Chola Milambo, Permanent Representative of Zambia to the United Nations
• Hyginus ‘Gene’ Leon, President of the Caribbean Development Bank
• Louise Fox, Brookings Institute, Technical lead for the High-Level Panel on MVI
