Environmental Performance Index
The Environmental Performance Index (EPI) is a tool that measures how well countries are protecting the environment and managing natural resources. It looks at factors like air and water quality, biodiversity, climate change efforts, and pollution levels. By scoring and comparing countries, the EPI helps identify where governments are succeeding or need improvement in creating sustainable and healthy environments for their citizens and ecosystems. It is used by policymakers, researchers, and the public to understand environmental progress and to guide efforts toward better environmental practices worldwide.
