The Happiest Green Place
Do you know where the happiest greenest place on earth is?
According to New Economics Organization, Costa Rica tops as the happiest green place on earth. This is based on the Happy Planet Index.
These are the other conclusions the group has made regarding this survey/study:
-
Costa Rica tops the Happy Planet Index 2.0. Costa Ricans report the highest life satisfaction in the world, have the second-highest average life expectancy of the New World (second only to Canada) and have an ecological footprint that means that the country only narrowly fails to achieve the goal of ‘one-planet living’: consuming its fair share of the Earth’s natural resources.
-
Latin America tops the Index. Nine of the top ten nations on the Index are in Latin America. The highest-ranking G20 country in terms of HPI is Brazil, in 9th place out of 143 nations.
-
Island nations perform well. Five of the ten small island nations included in the HPI are in the top 20 per cent of the HPI rankings.
-
Middle-income countries, like those in Latin America and South East Asia tend to be the closest to achieving sustainable well-being. Our current development model performs best at middle-income levels, but even at its optimum, it is unable to deliver good lives that do not cost the Earth.
