List of countries by planetary pressures–adjusted Human Development Index
This is a list of countries by planetary pressures–adjusted human development index (PHDI), as published by the
The 2021/2022 report published 2023 reveals significant changes in performance, and positioning, of some countries (for example: Iceland and Ireland), with no formal documentation to explain or analyze these results.[3] Unlike other indices, media coverage for these results was not available.
Methodology
The index captures the HDI of a country, after adjusting for its carbon dioxide emissions per person and material footprint per person.[4][5] Without any carbon emissions and material footprint, the HDI and PHDI would be equal; the greater these factors are, the greater the difference between the two.
List
The table below ranks countries according to their
2021/2022 and 2019 planetary pressures–adjusted HDI (PHDI) (2020, 2021/2022 reports)
