With reference to the recently released Global Innovation Index (GII) and other major global indices, consider the following statements:
- 1. In the Global Innovation Index 2024, published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), India has been included in the list of top 40 countries of the world with the 39th rank, and Switzerland has secured the first position in this index.
- 2. India's position has improved in the Human Development Index (HDI) released by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), but this index is primarily based on only three indicators—gross national income per capita, life expectancy, and expected years of schooling.
- 3. In the Global Gender Gap Index issued by the World Economic Forum (WEF), India has been ranked quite low globally in the political empowerment sub-index, while India has secured the highest rank in terms of economic participation and opportunity.
- 4. India has consistently received a high rank in the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) due to its renewable energy expansion and low per capita emissions, with this report presented by the Germany-based 'Germanwatch'.
