Canada ranked second last in climate and environmental performance
among “Global West” countries and 29th in the world, according to the
Environmental Performance Index (EPI), released in July by the Yale Center
for Environmental Law & Policy, the Yale Center for Geospatial Solutions
and Columbia University.
The ranking uses 47 environmental indicators from growth of carbon
emissions to rates of habitat protection compiled from datasets published
between 2022 and early 2026.
