map gallery

archive
of the reports and data for the 2000, 2001, and 2002 versions of the ESI. The documents made available here provide in-depth details on the analytical framework, quantitative methodology, and data sources that underlie each edition of the ESI. Note that because of data and methodological improvements to each subsequent version of the ESI, the country scores cannot be utilized in time-series analysis. We welcome criticisms, suggestions, and comments.
