The Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI)

The Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI) is a measure of overall progress
towards environmental sustainability, developed for 142 countries. The ESI scores
are based upon a set of 20 core "indicators," each of which combines two to eight
variables for a total of 68 underlying variables. The ESI permits cross-national
comparisons of environmental progress in a systematic and quantitative fashion. It
represents a first step towards a more analytically driven approach to
environmental decisionmaking.

The documents made available here provide in-depth details on the analytical
framework, quantitative methodology, and data sources that underlie the ESI . We
welcome criticisms, suggestions, and comments
