2018 Environmental Performance Index (EPI)
Listed in NASA Data Portal
The 2018 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) ranks 180 countries on 24 performance indicators in the following 10 issue categories: air quality, water and sanitation, heavy metals, biodiversity and habitat, forests, fisheries, climate and energy, air pollution, water resources, and agriculture.
Description
These categories track performance and progress on two broad policy objectives, environmental health and ecosystem vitality.
The EPI's proximity-to-target methodology facilitates cross-country comparisons among economic and regional peer groups. The data set includes the 2018 EPI, component scores, and time-series source data. The 2018 EPI was formally released in Davos, Switzerland, at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in January 2018.
