India Ranked Second Lowest on Yale's Environment Performance Index
India has been ranked 176th out of 177 countries in the EPI, with a score of 22.46%. This ranking has been met with a mix of concern and criticism from experts, who have questioned the methodology used in the index. The EPI is a comprehensive assessment of a country's environmental performance, taking into account various factors such as air and water quality, biodiversity, and climate change. India's ranking has been attributed to its poor performance in areas such as air pollution and waste management. The country's environment minister has been urged to take immediate action to address these issues and improve India's ranking in the EPI.
