Çevre Performans İndeksi (Environmental Performance Index-EPI), Yale Üniversitesi tarafından 2006 yılından beri ikişer yıl arayla ülkelerin çevre sağlığı ve ekosistem canlılığını 2006 yılında 16, 2008 ve 2010 yıllarında 25 ve son olarak 2012 yılında 22 performans göstergesine göre değerlendiren çevreyle ilgili önemli bir çalışmadır. Bu göstergeler, çevreye dair politika amaçlarına ülkelerin ne kadar yaklaştıklarının bir göstergesi durumundadır. 2012 yılı Çevre Performansı İndeksi’ne göre Türkiye, çevre sağlığı ve ekosistem canlılığını korumada dünya ülkeleri arasında en son sıralarda ve birçok en az gelişmiş ülkenin arasında yer almaktadır. Türkiye’nin indeks kapsamında 2012 yılında değerlendirilen 132 ülke arasında 109 sırada yer alması, çevre performansı konusunda Türkiye’nin sadece 23 ülkeyi, yani değerlendirilen ülkelerin sadece %17'sini geçebildiği ve %83’ünün gerisinde kaldığı anlamına gelmektedir. Bu çalışmada; çevre performans indeksi, indeksin amaçları, yapısal olarak politika ve kategorileri, göstergeleri ve puanları açıklandıktan sonra, tüketim toplumu ve çevre ilişkisi üzerinde durulmuştur. Türkiye’nin çevresel performansı 2010 ve 2012 yılı çevresel performans indeksi değerlerine göre analiz edildikten sonra, 2012 yılı performans değerlemesine göre beş kategoriye ayrılan ve her kategorinin başında yer alan ülkelerle Türkiye’nin karşılaştırmalı durumu grafiksel olarak ele alınmıştır. Son olarak; tüketim toplumu, çevre, çevre performans indeksi ve Türkiye çerçevesinde bazı değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır. Consumer Society, Environmental Performance Index And Evaluation of Environmental Performance For Turkey According To Environmental Performance Index Environmental Performance Index (EPI-Environmental Performance Index) is a major study which evaluates environmental health and ecosystem vitality of countries, two years apart. This study, prepared by Yale University and based on 16 performance indicators in 2006, 25 in 2008 and 2010, and finally 22 in 2012, evaluating the environmental performance. These indicators are as an indicator of how much countries achieve the environmental policy goals. According to the year 2012 Environmental Performance Index, Turkey is in the most recent ranking of countries in the world, and many are among the least developed countries for protecting environmental health and ecosystem vitality. Turkey, within the scope of the index of 132 countries assessed in 2012 to take place in 109, only 23 countries of Turkey in environmental performance, i.e., able to pass 17% and 83% of countries assessed only means to remain behind. In this study, environmental performance index, the objectives of index, policies and structural categories, indicators, and the scores after the announcement, focused on the relationship between consumer society and the environment. Environmental performance of Turkey in 2010 and 2012, after analyzing the environmental performance index values, separated into five categories based on the valuation of the performance of the year 2012 and at the beginning of each category are discussed in the territories of Turkey graphical comparative situation. Finally, the consumer society, the environment, some assessments were made within the framework of environmental performance index and Turkey.

In a period marked by ascending international independence and integration, governance and innovation are considered important tools in the sustainable growing process of countries, highlighting a constant search for positive development. The present paper intends to analyze the influence of the innovation and governance indexes on the environmental performance of nations around the globe. This is a descriptive study, we chose a quantitative approach and the data were collected on the Worldwide Governance Indicators (2018), Global Innovation Index (2018) and Environmental Performance Index (2018) websites. Subsequently, the data were organized and tabulated on the software SPSS®, version 22. Our analysis happened with the aid of descriptive statistics and linear regression. The main results indicate that countries do not show better environmental performance - where we take environmental health and the vitality of the ecosystems into consideration - due to the confidence and respect to the process in which governments are elected and observed.  In the innovation perspective and context, we could infer that it influences the environmental performance among the 108 countries that compose the sample. Therefore, the opinion regarding the importance of innovation is essential to comprehend the development of countries, and that includes the environmental field.

The methodology of calculation of environmental performance index is considered in the article. The necessity of assessing the environmental efficiency index at the regional level in connection with which the authors attempted to adapt the indicators is proved; the recommendations on improving the national system of environmental indicators for the purpose of maximum correlation with the indicators of the environmental performance index are given.

With the awareness of their environmental performance, countries can provide strategies and policies to improve their environmental performance. Thus, countries can contribute to their own economic development by increasing their environmental performance. Therefore, measuring the environmental performance of countries is of great importance. Environmental performance of countries can be measured by the Environmental Performance Index (EPI). EPI consists of two factors, environmental health and ecosystem vitality. Its factors are environmental protection components, and environmental protection components are environmental protection variables. In this context, the research has two purposes. The first of these,To measure the latest and up-to-date environmental performances of the G7 group countries for 2018, using CODAS and TOPSIS multi-criteria decision-making methods (MCDM) over the values of EPI components. The second is to determine which MCDM method can be used to explain the EPI values of countries the most. According to the findings, the ranking of countries' environmental performance with the CODAS method was determined as England, France, Japan, Germany, Canada, Italy and the USA. According to the TOPSIS method, this ranking was determined as England, France, Germany, Japan, Canada, Italy and the USA. According to another finding, it has been observed that there is a significant, positive and very high relationship between the EPI values of the countries and the values measured by the CODAS and TOPSIS methods. According to this result, it was evaluated that EPI can be explained by both methods. In addition, it has been concluded that the correlation value between TOPSIS values of EPI within the scope of the research is higher than the CODAS method, so it can be explained better with the TOPSIS method compared to the EPI CODAS method. In the literature, in order not to find a study measuring the environmental performance of countries with CODAS and TOPSIS methods, it was evaluated that the study in question contributed to the literature, since the findings obtained as a result of the research became a data set for future studies.

The paper deals with the analysis of methodology of Environmental Performance Index. The authors analyzed and systematized the main existing integrated indices, which were used for evaluation of environmental, social and economic situation in the countries. The authors allocated the environmental performance index as a basis for analyzing the environmental policy of the country. In this direction, the authors analysed the main features, structure and indicators of environmental performance index. The authors allocated the world-leader countries with huge level of CO2 emissions. According to the results, the authors aproved that these countries should improve their environmental policy. Accordingly, they occupied less position in environmental performance index. For the purpose to analyze the relation between ecological, social and economic welfare, the authors analyzed score of sustainable development goal index, social progress index and gross domestic product per capita. The comparison analysis of findings showed that countries with good position on environmental performance index have the strong position on sustainable development goal index and social progress index. The authors suggested that Ukraine should orient to the EU countries with purpose to improve the environmental policy.
