Why this moved — Index v1.0 → v1.1
Score changed from 98.0 (v1.0) to 97.3 (v1.1) when the Index expanded on 21 Oct 2026. Decomposed honestly:
- Methodology effect -0.7 — the indicator set grew from 9 to 16 (adding Protection and Environment & Exposure). This part of the change says something about the ruler, not about Canada.
- Data effect +0.0 — revised or newer values on the original v1.0 indicators. This is the part that reflects change in Canada itself.
Its rank moved from #9 to #10; rank movement between versions also reflects the larger ranked set and other countries’ new-indicator scores, so it is not, by itself, evidence of change in this country. The v1.0 table is kept in the v1.0 archive.
