Environmental Wellbeing Index
The Environmental Wellbeing Index (EWI) is a global composite index that measures the health and regenerative capacity of Earth's natural systems — soil, water, air, and biodiversity — across every continent, ocean, and country. It tracks how far industrial activity, technology, and human consumption have pushed these systems beyond their natural recovery limits, while also crediting nations for restorative and sustainable contributions. By combining land and ocean data with country-level accountability, EWI aims to give the world a shared, actionable measure of ecological health — much like GDP measures economic output or HDI measures human development.

Global Wellbeing Index
Most existing ESG country ratings score government/corporate practice (policy, disclosure, institutions). This index is different — we want to measure impact on people's lives.

AI Impact on Wellbeing Index
The AI Impact on Human Wellbeing Index — Social Dimension (a Global Wellbeing Forum initiative) evaluates the net social effect of AI adoption across every nation, disaggregated by high-, middle-, and low-income country groups. Rather than treating "AI and society" as one uniform story, the methodology blends research-based quantitative analysis (surveys, national statistics, academic studies) with grassroots qualitative research (community interviews, civil society partnerships, local social scientists) to capture both what the data shows and what it misses. The result is a transparent, income-tier-adjusted scorecard showing where AI is strengthening social bonds, trust, and participation — and where it's eroding them.
