Substack - The world’s top fifteen most green, climate-conscious countries are all in Europe. In fact, 23 out of the top 25 green countries are European, with the other two countries in the top 25 being Japan (ranked 25th) and Australia (17). Europe also holds 29 out of the top 35 spots. The European continent is the beacon of the world on this issue. The United States, meanwhile, is ranked 43rd, right smack between Namibia and Dominica. That’s a decline from the 2020 EPI, when the US was ranked 24th. This is actually a very big deal. The world’s wealthiest nation is projected to fall far short of its net-zero greenhouse gas emissions target established by the 2021 Glasgow Climate Pact. In fact by 2050, over 50% of global emissions are expected to come from just four countries -- the U.S., China, India, and Russia.
