According to the 2022 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) report, Denmark is the most environmentally friendly country globally.

The EPI measures the environmental sustainability of countries using dozens of indicators grouped into three main pillars:

* Environmental Health: Air quality, water pollution, waste management quality, and so on.
* Climate: Climate change mitigation policies, greenhouse gas emissions, and so on.
* Ecosystem Vitality: Biodiversity quality, sustainability of fisheries, agriculture, water resources, and so on.

The data used by the EPI comes from international organizations, research institutions, academics, and government agencies. Most of the data has been third-party audited.

"Generally, we do not accept raw data from governments," the report states.

The EPI then processes the data related to the above indicators into a score on a scale of 0-100. The higher the score, the better the environmental sustainability is considered.

Denmark received a score of 77.9 out of 100, the highest among the 180 countries researched.

"Countries with high scores have well-thought-out programs to protect public health, conserve natural resources, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions," explained Alex de Sherbinin, one of the lead researchers in compiling the EPI report, in a press release on Wednesday, June 1, 2022.

Here is a list of the 10 countries with the highest environmental sustainability scores according to the EPI 2022:

* Denmark: 77.9
* United Kingdom: 77.7
* Finland: 76.5
* Malta: 75.2
* Sweden: 72.7
* Luxembourg: 72.3
* Slovenia: 67.3
* Austria: 66.5
* Switzerland: 65.9
* Iceland: 62.8

In this report, Indonesia received a score of 28.2 out of 100. This score places Indonesia 164th out of 180 countries researched.
