The latest Environmental Performance Index report has been released and can be found at:
http://epi.yale.edu/reports/2016-report
The EPI Report presents the latest environmental metrics and data to signal policymakers on where to improve performance.
Key Findings:
- The world is making progress addressing some environmental issues while others have worsened considerably.
- Economic development leads to improvement in some environmental areas, yet development is also associated with increased prevalence of environmental hazards.
- When measurement is poor or not aligned with proper management, environmental and human health suffer.
- Developing policy relevant indicators based in science is essential to appropriate measurement and management.
- The 2015 Paris Climate Agreement specifies climate change action expected from all countries, yet solid metrics to evaluate performance remain elusive
You may want to consider inclusion of environmental metrics into your One Health activities.
The report also recognises the challenges in developing such metrics.
