EFFICIENCY CIVILIZATION INDEX
Methodology v1. 2023
1) Efficiency Civilization Index
(Global Innovation Index + Global Competitiveness Index – (Global Peace Index*100)) + (Environmental Performance Index + Sustainable Development Goals Index – Corruption Perceptions Index) + (Social Progress Index + Human Freedom Index + Rule of Law Index – Fragile States Index)
In constructing the Civilization Efficiency Index (CEI), we incorporate 10 global indices from other organizations, which provide in-depth information on the factors influencing the CEI.

The following Indices are under consideration for inclusion:
Reporters Without Borders: World Press Freedom Index
Global Footprint Network: Ecological Deficits and Reserves
World Bank: poverty data the GINI index
Freedom House: Freedom in the World
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) – Better Life Index
Methodology
Each of the 10 indices has its median value calculated, and states exceeding that median are rewarded with a global utility coefficient. The higher the score, the more utility is added to the initial index, enhancing the overall base index.
The CEI is divided into three sections, comprising 10 global indices and median-based formulas. Positive indices are totaled within each section, with the index having the most negative effect on civilization efficiency subtracted. Negative indices include the Peace Index, the Corruption Perceptions Index, and the Fragile States Index.
1) Global Innovation Index + Global Competitiveness Index – Global Peace Index*100
2) Environmental Performance Index + Sustainable Development Goals Index – Corruption Perceptions Index
3) Social Progress Index + Human Freedom Index*10 + Rule of Law Index*100 – Fragile States Index
The final score is expressed as a percentage of the absolute maximum value (2012 points). In 2023, our civilization’s efficiency is only 12.5%, indicating that we are still far from using our full potential of resources
The CEI may register as negative, particularly for states with very low innovation, poor peaceability, and weak corruption perception. This does not mean these countries oppose civilization; instead, they warrant increased attention from the international community.
If a state is absent from one of the 10 rankings, it is given the lowest score for that particular ranking. When the organization responsible for the ranking includes the state in its data collection, the CEI will be updated accordingly.
2) Potential global basic income
The base income is calculated based on the median CEI values of states with a score above 0 and the global median wage, currently at 490.2 and 482, respectively. States scoring above the median raise their citizens’ basic income, while those scoring below 490.2 reduce it. Citizens of states with a negative CEI receive 50% of the base income of the lowest-ranked state with a positive CEI.
The TRL Global Foundation aims to convert the Index of a Civilization’s Strength into tangible action and measurable progress through the TRL Alliance/Science system that involves of researchers, scientists, and civil activists. The foundation promotes maximum interdisciplinarity and encourages people to register on the TRL Certificate system to declare their preferences, work in the area, and influence the Civilization Efficiency Index.
