“Environmental Sustainability Index” ranking. (1 PAGE FULL ANSWER)

Answer 1

There are several reasons for India's lower rank in terms of ESI.

Explanation:

• The Environmental Performance Index is based on a country's effort in making pollution controllable and taking measures for its prevention.

• Delhi and Bombay are included in one of the most polluted cities in the world.

• The uncountable factories, burning of coal, using water reservoirs, cutting down forests, etc are some of the disastrous ways adopted by India hence their performance in the maintenance of the natural environment is not much appreciable.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Environmental sustainability Index is a method of measuring the policies that any government has initiated for sustaining its environment.

The countries that have been ranked on high in ESI are the ones that have worked alot on using renewable or green sources of energy, those who have initiated plans for protecting sea water from pollution, where air pollution index is low, plantation and other measures.

India is a country where this is high pollution and hast taken significant measures on renewable energies, hence it has relatively low ESI
