4. Human Development Index The HDI is used to rank countries by level of "human development" as either developed (high development), developing (middle development), or underdeveloped (low development) countries. It is composed from data on life expectancy, education and per-capita GDP (as indicator of standard of living) collected at the national level.

5. World Population > 6 billion The size of each territory shows the relative proportion of the world's population living there. "Out of every 100 persons added to the population in the coming decade, 97 will live in developing countries." Hania Zlotnik, 2005. Department of Economic and Social Affairs, United Nations Secretariat

6. Affected by Disasters Territory size shows the proportion of all people worldwide affected by disasters between 1975 and 2004, that live there. Disasters overwhelm local capacity, causing destruction and suffering, and necessitating a request for outside help. Disasters include droughts, epidemics, volcanoes, storms, fires, and events caused by accidents or indirectly caused by wars.

7. Refugee Destination Territory size shows the global proportion of both refugees and internally displaced persons living there. The internal movement of people explains why territories experiencing recent instability can simultaneously be a major destination of displaced people, for example Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2003 there were an estimated 15 million refugees and internally displaced persons.

8. International Food Aid Wars, droughts, economic collapse and other disasters disrupt access to basic necessities. This map shows sources of international financial donations intended to provide food for people whose normal way of getting food has failed. In 2005 governments contributed about US$ 2.5 billion to food aid programmes.

12. A framework for humanitarian logistics (Gyöngyi Kovács, Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain Research (HUMLOG) Institute. Hanken School of Economics (Hanken) and National Defence University of Finland (NDU). Disaster relief operations takes 80% of humanitarian logistical costs

13. UNICEF Innovations Development Combining low-tech hardware with sophisticated open-source software to explore novel ways to both empower young people and improve UNICEF's operations. Also finds ways to integrate appropriate technological systems into existing UNICEF working practices to augment and improve the effectiveness of our operations

14. Inveneo Inveneo is a nonprofit social enterprise, which means that we operate like a business with a social mission.
