The Environmental Performance Index (EPI) ranks countries’

performance on high-priority environmental issues in

two areas: protection of human health and protection of

ecosystems. Within these two policy objectives the EPI

scores national performance in nine issue areas comprised of

more than 20 indicators (see EPI Framework). EPI indicators

measure country proximity to meeting internationally

established targets or, in the absence of agreed targets, how

nations compare to one another.

Environmental Performance Index

1. Increases the number of deaths associated with air pollution and water pollution. 2% of global deaths are attributed to unhealthy water consumption. And 10% of global deaths are associated with poor water quality.

2. Half of the world's population lives in places with poor air quality.

3. The number of people without access to drinking water has decreased from 960 million to 550 million.

4. 34% of fisheries are over exploited or have collapsed.

5. 15.4% of the land surface is protected and 8.4% of the marine area is under some protection figure.

6. In 2014 the world lost a forest area equivalent to twice the territory of Peru.

7. Around the world, 80% of sewage is still discharged to the ecosystems without any treatment.
