You may have heard that Stockholm is the cleanest capital in the world, that Finland leads in sustainable forest management or that Norway is one of the world’s leading renewable energy suppliers.
“The Nordic countries rank highest in environmental sustainability”. These are the conclusions from the most recent update of the Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI), a project conducted jointly by Yale University (USA), Columbia University (USA), and the World Economic Forum.
According to a 142 nation study released at the 2002 meeting of the World Economic Forum in New York, Finland leads the world in environmental sustainability, followed by Norway and Sweden in second and third place respectively. Nordic neighbours Iceland rank eighth on the list and the Baltic republic of Latvia climbs up to an excellent tenth place.
