The 2026 Atlas of Global Development by the World Bank focuses on progress across countries by measuring how quickly they move toward better outcomes and how they face different challenges from their starting points. A new framework tracks development over the past 75 years and reveals advances across key dimensions. The atlas is presented through stories organized around progress, people, prosperity, planet, infrastructure, and technology. It covers a wide range of topics and includes many charts that allow comparisons across countries and development areas. The atlas aims to show both momentum and setbacks in global development patterns.
"Across the global development landscape, which countries are moving the fastest, and which are losing ground? The 2026 edition of the World Bank's Atlas of Global Development puts progress at its center. Looking at how fast countries are moving toward better outcomes and facing different challenges, from their own individual starting points, this edition introduces a new framework to track development over the past 75 years, revealing how countries have advanced across key dimensions."
"Framed as a set of stories on progress, people, prosperity, planet, infrastructure, and technology, the atlas covers a wide range of topics with a variety of charts. There's a lot to poke at."
