As the global push for a greener future continues, Europe remains one of the continents most committed to addressing the damaging effects of climate change. That's not to say that the picture is consistent across Europe though. Indeed, a look at some of the least environmentally friendly countries in Europe is a sobering reminder that there is still so much more to be done, especially by some countries not yet 'pulling their weight', so to speak.
We're taking a look at these countries, ranking them according to which is the least environmentally friendly. To do this, we're using Yale University's 2020 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) as a guideline, as well as looking at how each country deals with green policies. Using a score out of 100, the EPI measures countries according to their commitment to hitting zero carbon, switching to renewable energy sources, and encouraging businesses and individuals alike to implement more green practices.
