The World Index 2022 brings information on the cleanest countries in which an individual or a family can comfortably live and reside. The EPI Scoring means that it is a method of quantifying the environmental performance of a particular country and the sustainability in that particular country. It signifies the amount of investment that the country or the government is making towards improving the quality of the air and the environment as a whole.
The Environmental Performance Index (EPI) emphasizes on the analysis of over 180 countries before they give their decisions. There are several factors that are taken into consideration and a large amount of testing is done before the numbers and the names of the countries are listed.

There are several countries where the pollution levels are so high that it is practically difficult to breathe or breathing in that air would cause more damage to the lungs. The reports help the countries in noting the actions that they need to take to improve things and the environment that they are offering to their population to thrive in.
