Environmental Performance Index

The Environmental Performance Index, released in 2006 by The Yale Center for Environmental Policy

and Law, measures policy performance towards two goals: reducing environmental stresses on human
health and promoting ecosystem vitality and sound natural resource management. Sixteen indicators
express six categories of commonly agreed-upon policy categories: Environmental Health, Air Quality,
Water Resources, Productive Natural Resources, Biodiversity and Habitat, and Sustainable Energy (Yale
Center for Environmental Policy and Law et al., 2006). The index framework is shown in Figure 12.
