Climate Red - News and Views on Climate Change Issues.

the dreaded list

January 24th 2008 01:53
Here is the lnk to the list of the Greenest countries in the world according to the Columbia-Yale Environmental Index. CLICK HERE

Let's just say we don't stack up too well, no 46 to be precise.

Obviously this is a pre Kyoto signing figure but we can't expect us signing Kyoto to be the magical fix. Ironically we are one of the few countries even close to meeting Kyoto targets. This index is much broader and is an overall assessment of behaviour. (Ill post the criteria when i can find them, they changed them from last year)


Here's hoping we can leap frog a few people next year, NZ is in the top 10, that is where we should and will be.

cheers to the converted........

I wasn't at all surprised about Sweden, Switzerland and Norway being so highly ranked, but I was surprised to see countries such as Costa Rica and Colombia in the top 10.

And surprising to see the US ranked higher than us.....that's a sad indictment on us!

I hate lists, let's hope it achieves something.

After all I have to hate something.

Lordy, that's pitiful. Surely we are capable of a lot more than that.

Fingers crossed for next year - and even if we are in the same position, let's hope it's because everyone has really moved forward too.
