  New rankings in almost all of these metrics were released in 2024, highlighting the latest countries at the top and bottom of the sustainability pyramid. Estonia ranked the highest in the 2024 EPI, jumping from 14th place in 2022.

The article from The Week discusses the environmental performance of various countries based on the Yale Environmental Performance Index (EPI). Denmark leads the ranking with a score of 82.5, excelling in areas like air quality, sanitation, and climate change efforts. Other top performers include the UK, Finland, Malta, and Sweden, all of which have implemented strong environmental policies. Conversely, countries like Burundi, Central African Republic, and Papua New Guinea rank at the bottom, facing challenges due to poverty, conflict, and lack of infrastructure for environmental management. The EPI assesses countries on 40 indicators including air and water quality, biodiversity, and climate change, highlighting a stark contrast between developed and developing nations in terms of environmental stewardship. The article also notes that while some countries are making significant strides, global efforts are still insufficient to meet the Paris Agreement's climate goals, emphasizing the need for international cooperation and policy innovation.
