Global leaders gathered at the World Economic Forum in Davos last week to Discuss whose economy is booming the most. But they?re also competing in a newer ranking: who takes the best care of their environment. For the past 15 years, Yale and Columbia University researchers have been tracking what they call the Environmental Performance Index—a biennial, data-intensive ranking of how well 180 countries protect the health of their populations and ecosystems. Finland topped the list this year, followed by Iceland, Sweden, and Denmark. The bottom included weak and failing states like Somalia, Eritrea, Afghanistan. Overall, the EPI shows major improvements in worldwide access to safe water but there is something to worry . Around 3.5 billion people, more than half of humankind, live in areas where air pollution exceeds the safe level designated by the World Health Organization.So over the past decade the global community has achieved success in reducing the number of people dying from unsafe water, but have not been achieving those same results in air pollution. Air pollution has gotten worse and more people are dying from air pollution. Nations all around the world need to concentrate on the air-pollution too . Long-term ideas are to be implemented to reduce it or it might be too late for humanity to survive .
