IHEANACHO O, M (May 25, 2008): JUST DECIDED TO CHECK OUT AFTER READING NEWSWEEK FEB.4,2008 ED.5 PG6 ABOUT YALE UNIVERSITY ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE INDEX. I WILL LIKE TO KNOW HOW MY COUNTRY’S(NIGERIA) DATA WAS OBTAINED WHICH RANKED HER BELOW 126 with WITH A SCORE OF 56.2 AND SWITZERLAND’S 1 AND SCORE 95.5. THANKS
Stephan StĂĽcklin (Jun 30, 2008): I wonder if we’d do as well if our heavy agricultural subsidies were factored in, which they apparently aren’t.
Ana Isabel Queiroz (Jul 09, 2008): How Switzerland has a 100% score on “marine protected areas” indicator? If we do not use that, what will be the EPI rank?
Susan Soltero (Jul 30, 2008): Was Puerto Rico evaluated in this index? Why not? I don’t see it on the list.
