Overview
The ADI Master Dashboard monitors climate-health decision intelligence across 194 WHO member states using 25 composite KPI indicators computed from 7881 raw variables. Each KPI aggregates multiple raw data sources into a single 0-100 score, enabling cross-country comparison and resource prioritization.
KPIs are organized along two dimensions: category (who uses the indicator) and functional role (what aspect of risk it measures). Six analytical frameworks layer on top of the KPIs to provide strategic decision support.
Category × Role Matrix
| Hazard | Vulnerability | Readiness | Burden | Macro | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Universal | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1 | — | 6 |
| Donor | — | 2 | 2 | — | 2 | 6 |
| Government | — | — | 4 | 2 | — | 6 |
| INGO | — | 2 | — | 2 | — | 4 |

Data Sources
The 25 KPIs draw from 26 unique data sources, aggregated below by the number of KPIs each source feeds into.
Data Governance
Normalization
Raw variables are normalized to a 0-100 scale before aggregation. Three approaches are used depending on indicator type:
- •Min-Max Normalization: Used for continuous variables with defined bounds (e.g., mortality rates, coverage percentages). x_norm = (x - min) / (max - min) × 100.
- •Z-Score / PCA: Used when component weights should reflect variance structure. Principal Component Analysis derives data-driven weights from the first principal component.
- •Geometric Mean: Used for multiplicative composites where zero values in any dimension should dominate (e.g., Human Development Index-style construction).
Directionality Alignment
Before aggregation, all variables are aligned so that higher values represent higher risk (or lower performance). Protective indicators are inverted:
- •Higher-is-worse indicators (e.g., mortality rate, pollution): used as-is after normalization.
- •Higher-is-better indicators (e.g., UHC coverage, life expectancy): inverted via x_risk = 100 - x_norm before aggregation.
Missing Data Handling
When raw variables are unavailable for a country, the following imputation strategies are applied in order of preference:
- •Regional median imputation: Use the median value from the same WHO region.
- •Income-group median fallback: If regional data is also sparse, use the median from the same World Bank income group.
- •Exclusion with transparency: If imputation is not defensible, the country is excluded from that KPI and flagged as partial data.
Weighting Methodology
Component weights vary by KPI design:
- •PCA-derived weights: Data-driven, reflecting variance structure (used by Human Capital Risk Index, Climate-Health Vulnerability Score).
- •Equal weights: When no theoretical basis exists for differential weighting (used by simpler composites).
- •Expert/MCDA weights: Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis with stakeholder input (used by Priority Engine dimension weights).
Update Cadence
KPI update frequency depends on underlying data source availability:
- •Monthly: Climate and environmental indicators (ERA5 reanalysis, OpenAQ).
- •Annual: Most health and economic indicators (WHO, World Bank, IHME).
- •Every 2-5 years: Survey-based indicators (DHS, MICS) and census data.
- •Real-time recomputation: Composite scores, priority rankings, and matrix positions are recomputed on each dashboard load from the latest available data.
