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.

There is an increasing pressure by community and customers forcing companies to insert environmental concerns in their practices. To help companies initiatives, the green bonds market was incepted. Our research question is how to select bonds in a growing billion-dollar market. This paper presents a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) model to enable investors identify opportunities based not only in opinions, but grounded on objective facts. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Complex Proportional Assessment (COPRAS) are two MCDA methods applied in this paper. Top-fifteen green bonds ranked by specialized media were assessed with the proposed MCDA model. Criteria included the Environmental Performance Index (EPI) proposed by Yale University, and common financial indicators as assets, risks (β), and dividends. The new AHP–COPRAS rank is compared with another published by specialized media.

Abstract The aim of the paper is to explore the association between environmental performance and income level in the world economy in 2016. Data from Yale University and World Bank are used in a cross-country regression analysis comprising 166 countries. The gross Domestic Product per capita (based in purchased power parity, constant 2011 international dollars) in these countries is positively associated with the environmental performance index (EPI) calculated by Yale and Columbia University in 2016. Furthermore, the causality of this relationship is from GDP per capita to Environmental Performance and both Environmental Health (EH) and Ecosystem Vitality (EV) are positively associated with GDP per capita. Environmental Health (EH) is stronger related to GDP per capita, meaning that investments in public health, sanitation and infrastructure are increasing as countries develop.

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.

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.
