Turkey's environmental performance: 99'th among 180 countries ... According the environmental Performance Index conducted by Yale University, Columbia University and World Economic Forum on countries 'performance on high priority environmental issues Turkey's environmental performance has taken the 99'th place among 180 countries.
When we remember that this same report has published Turkey at the 66'th place in 2014 And knowing all the environmental reforms and actions taken by the Turkish government for the past 2 years, we can seriously analyze this report.
Contradictorily, Turkey received one of the best grades in drinking water and sanitation (85.05%)
Agriculture (87.04%) as my organization called AFROKON was invited to the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock we have effectively discussed and concluded ideas about the Turkish policies on drinking water, sanitation and agriculture.
Therefore, Turkey should do better in other fields (climate and energy= 47.77%, biological diversity= 22.53%)so it can define itself as a sustainable emerging country.

Thanks for introducing this interesting and informative report indicating global metrics for the environment.Congrats for Turkey being one of the best performers in drinking water and sanitation. However, it needs to improve on other areas.
Glad to see my current region/country UK at 12th rank. UAE though is at 92nd .

See page 18, 19 for the ranking! Thanks for introducing the report to us Gallimard. Honestly, it is a bit disappointing to find South Korea ranking far below what I hoped for, well i see there is much to be done. Great to see you again Gallimard, fingers crossed for your other activities as well.
