Finland became number one is mostly because of the fact that the country’s societal commitment to achieve a carbon-neutral society that does not exceed nature’s carrying capacity by 2050. This country performed really good in the areas of water and sanitation, health impacts, biodiversity, and habitat. Congratulations, Finland.
