2016 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) (February 2016, 123 pages, 13.97 MB PDF). Produced this year by the Yale Center for Environmental Law & Policy (YCELP), Yale Data-Driven Environmental Solutions Group at Yale University, and CIESIN, the EPI ranks country performance on high-priority environmental issues in two broad policy areas, protection of human health from environmental harm, and protection of ecosystems. 180 countries were evaluated, in nine categories of environmental concern, with new additions, in large part, from Small-Island Developing States and sub-Saharan Africa.
