The JRC’s Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen (IPSC) has provided input to the 2010 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) released by Yale and Columbia University at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, 27-31 January 2010 in Davos.
With its expertise on composite indicators and sensitivity analysis, the JRC-IPSC has contributed to the EPI by evaluating the uncertainties underlying the index and the sensitivity of the country rankings to the methodological choices made during the development of the Index. This is the third edition of the EPI, which has been revisited biannually since 2006 with the collaboration of JRC-IPSC.
