Research results report: The 2022 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) report selected the 10 cleanest countries in the world in 2022. The 2022 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) report has recently been released! The
EPI index takes into account various standards such as air quality, water, sanitation, forests, climate change, and other key factors. 50% of EPI focuses on the environmental health of a country, and another 50% involves its ecosystem vitality.
One of the most important environmental indicators that affects a country's EPI score is air quality. According to WHO (WHO), air pollution has become one of the main threats to public health. Now it has become a global problem.
Another major factor is water and sanitation facilities, and whether a country can access clean water is the most important! Clean water sources are crucial to human development, the environment and the national economy. Other determinants of a country's EPI include climate and energy issues, forests, fisheries, heavy metal use, etc.
According to the EPI report, the ten cleanest countries in the world in 2022 are as follows:
) Denmark (Denmark)
) Luxembourg (Luxembourg)
) Switzerland (Switzerland)
4) United Kingdom (United Kingdom)
5) France (France)
6) Austria (Austria)
7) Finland (Finland)
8) Sweden (Sweden)
9) Norway (Norway)
0) Germany (Germany)
I have been to all of these ten countries, and some have been more than once. What is the "cleanest"? How to quantify the "cleanest"? What is the weight of a big city? What is the weight of the town? All unknown! Actually, are you going to say that Paris is cleaner than Stockholm? Is it cleaner than Oslo ? I don't think so? However, since it was done by two famous universities and such a famous institution as the World Economic Forum, it must have its own set of theories and models, so let’s admit it! But then again, it is really not "bragging" to say that they are "otherworldly" and "spotless"! The most typical one is the small town near Geneva in France: Annecy, which has the cleanest lake in Europe. Its lake water melts and is formed by the melting of ice and snow in the Alps. It is crystal clear and can be drunk directly! I think this is why France is at the forefront!
In addition, the EPI report also pointed out that these countries are also "equal to" the most beautiful countries and are also tourist destinations that EPI strongly recommends to tourists!
