Data Notes
Emissions Index numbers shown on a scale of 0-100.
0 = Bad, 100 = Good.

Environmental Index Methodology: Total Carbon, Total Methane, Air Quality, access to safe drinking water and temperature data for each country has been indexed on a scale of 0-100 by using the standard deviation from the mean for each country. The implied Indexes are averaged to calculate a total Environmental Index which focuses on each country's relative environmental impact.

Temperature Data Source: CCKP. World Bank Group, Climate Change Knowledge Portal and indexed. An index of 0 incdicates cool temperatures where 100 indicates a hot annual average temperature.

The displayed data are derived from 2021 Temperature, Carbon and Methane Data. Air Quality and Access to Safe Water is the latest data available.

SOCIAL

The World Economics social Index uses United Nations HID and World Bank data to create indexes for life expectancy, median age, years of schooling, spend on education and the percentage of the population in work, to reflect social progress. The individual Indexes are combined into the overall Social Index using equal weights.

Social Factors Index
Index: 0 = Extremely poor, 100 = Good as it gets.
