概述 | The Environmental Performance Index (EPI) identifies targets for several core environmental policy categories and measures how close countries come to meet them. Ecologic compiled and analysed the data sources of the EPI for Germany, and assessed the methodologies of the Index. Based on this assessment, both the scientific and political relevance of the index for German environmental policy performance were determined. The report was published by the German Federal Environment Agency in UBA-Texte 09/08. |
摘要 | class="field field-name-field-master-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"> The Environmental Performance Index (EPI) identifies targets for several core environmental policy categories and measures how close countries come to meet them. Ecologic compiled and analysed the data sources of the EPI for Germany, and assessed the methodologies of the Index. Based on this assessment, both the scientific and political relevance of the index for German environmental policy performance were determined. The report was published by the German Federal Environment Agency in UBA-Texte 09/08. The most recent publication of the Pilot-EPI (2006) has placed Germany in the 22nd position, which compares to a lower rank among Industrialised Countries. This study has traced the individual results for Germany, based on an analysis of data sources and data quality as well as an assessment of the underlying methodology of the composite index. As part of this assessment, the scientific validity of the ranking has been investigated. The report [pdf, 663KB, English] is available for download at the website of the German Federal Environment Agency. The publication includes results of the Ecologic Project Analysis of Yale-Environmental Performance Index (EPI). |
