Environmental Performance Index rankings: India needs to create nature-based solutions for sustainable environment
Our strategy for improving our EPI ranking should also include safeguarding our blue-carbon habitats, creating plans to prevent natural disasters in coastal areas, and safeguarding the fisherfolk community The Environmental Performance Index, which analyzes 180 nations based on a number of factors including air quality, sanitation, environmental health, biodiversity, and predicted emissions by 2050, provides an overview of the level of sustainability around the world. India has undoubtedly made significant progress in terms of its green cover and sanitation systems, but if air pollution, urban heat island effect, climatic anomalies, and natural disasters continue to rise, we still have a long way to go in terms of enhancing our nation’s environmental condition. It is important to replace energy from fossil fuels with renewable energy sources like waste, water, air, and sun to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Our strategy for improving our EPI ranking should also include safeguarding our blue-carbon habitats, creating plans to prevent natural disasters in coastal areas, and safeguarding the fisherfolk community.
