GERMANY
Germany is a world leader in renewable energy and in the first half of 2018 it
produced enough electricity to power every household in the country for a year.
The country has also set an ambitious target to get 65% of their electricity from
COSTA RICA
Thanks to its unique geography and commitment to the environment, small but
mighty Costa Rica has produced 95% of its electricity from hydro, geothermal,
solar and wind over the past four years. Next on the horizon: Costa Rica aims to be
SWEDEN
In 2015, Sweden threw down the gauntlet with an ambitious goal: to eliminate fossil
fuels from electricity generation by 2040 within its borders, and has ramped up
investment in solar, wind, energy storage, smart grids, and clean transport. And the
best part? The Swedes are challenging everyone else to join them in a race to
become the first 100% renewable country. Now that’s a competition where
everyone wins!
Bad things:
1. Bangladesh
Bangladesh is now the most polluted country with 1st rank and an average
people. This population is a strain on the available resources, such as air. For this
reason, there is a lot of pollution from industries and human activities. Also, there
are three cities from Bangladesh that appear among the top most polluted cities.
2. Pakistan
position in the world. The country, with a population of 200.8 million, is among the
most populated countries in the world. The outdoor air in Pakistan is of the worst
The country’s life expectancy is quite low, with an average of 64 for males and 66
for females. There are various cities that make it to the top ten lists of the dirtiest
cities. Three of them are from Pakistan, making the country the most polluted.
3. Mongolia
This is a small country, just like Qatar, but with a very low GDP (PPP) per capita.
Although their populations are almost similar, the GDP (PPP) per capita of
country in the world. This is attributed to the burning of coal that is done regularly
to overcome the cold weather. These carbon emissions go a long way to polluting
the air. The practice has since lowered life expectancy, which is at 68 years for
both males.
4. Afghanistan
polluted country in the world. In comparison with Qatar, it has a very low GDP
The life expectancy is quite low at 60 years for both genders. The low expectancy
is owed to the fact that there is a lot of pollution in the atmosphere. This is caused
by the burning of rubber and plastics. Also, the constant driving to work increases
5. India
This is the second biggest country in terms of population with a population of over
one billion, just behind China. The GDP (PPP) per capita of the country is a bit low
The large population is the source of the problem because it puts a strain on the
use of resources. The pressure on industries, water sources, and food companies
warrants for more industrial activities, which leads to more releases of waste
6. Indonesia
Indonesia is on 6thposition. The average Indonesian can expect to lose 1.2 years
of life expectancy at current pollution levels, according to the Air Quality Life Index
(AQLI), because air quality fails to meet the World Health Organization (WHO)
The pollution index, developed by Michael Greenstone and his colleagues at the
Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC), shows that the health
effects are much larger in parts of the country with particularly high particulate
pollution. Residents of Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta, for example, can expect to lose
2.3 years of life expectancy if 2016 pollution levels are sustained over their lifetime.
7. Bahrain
This is a small country with a meager population of 1.3 million, the lowest in this
group. It is the 7th most polluted country with an average concentration of PM 2.5
of 57ug/m3. It may be a small country, but it has a powerful GDP (PPP) per capita
Consequently, there are very high carbon emissions and energy loss to the
Owing to the powerful GDP (PPP) per capita and a manageable population, the
country has great health facilities, which have boosted the life expectancy to 76 for
8. Nepal
The country, which is closest to the Himalaya, is feared to negate the glaciers or
9. Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan ranked as the 9th most polluted country in the world in 2019 with 41.20
score, with the air in 2019 was classified as “unhealthy for sensitive groups.”
However, in Live Air Quality City Ranking, Tashkent on 63 score with the air was
classified as “moderate.”
10. Iraq
In accordance with the World Health Organization’s guidelines, the air quality in
Iraq is considered unsafe. The most recent data indicates the country’s annual
maximum of 10 µg/m3.
Iraq ranked as the 10th most polluted country in the world in 2019 with 39.60
score, with the air in 2019 was classified as “unhealthy for sensitive groups.”
However, in Live Air Quality City Ranking, Baghdad having consistently high levels
