Which organisation published the Multidimensional Vulnerability Index?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Multidimensional Vulnerability Index (MVI) is published by the United Nations.

Key information about the index:

Publication: It was officially adopted and launched by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on August 13, 2024.

Objective: The main objective of this index is to help developing countries, especially small island developing states (SIDS), access concessional financing loans based on their geographical and economic vulnerabilities.

Significance: This index measures 'multidimensional' vulnerabilities such as climate change, pandemics, and external economic shocks, rather than relying solely on per capita income (GDP/GNI).
