Every year, the United Nations Development Program measures global development goals that consist of the parameters health, standard of living, level of education, and gross domestic product divided by the number of inhabitants.
Based on these goals, they rank in which countries it is best to live.
Norway has topped the UN list almost every year since the report was first published in 1990. This year, the UN has produced two lists: the original and a new one that takes two more parameters into account.
Now Norway can no longer call itself the best country in the world to live according to the new UN list, NRK writes on Tuesday morning.
However, Norway continues to top the original list.
Norway sinks
The reason Norway does not top both lists is that the new report has included two new parameters: greenhouse gas emissions and resource use. This means that Norway moves from 1st to 16th place on the list.
With a value of 27.9 tons per inhabitant, Norway has the sixth highest material footprint value among 169 countries. In terms of CO emissions, Norway has 8.3 tonnes per capita, which is among the 30 largest values in total.
Fear of the famine pandemic: – It may be worse than the covid
– Norway loses its first position due to our large footprint on the planet. This is an important debate, it is time for us to bring, says the director of the Development Work Directorate, Bård Vegar Solhjell, to the channel.
50 countries fall out of category
Despite a steep decline, Norway is still considered a highly developed country. However, more than 50 countries have fallen out of this category, including Australia, Singapore, and the Emirates.
Iceland, Canada and the US are among the countries competing for the most spots on this year’s report list, while countries like France, Britain and Italy move up.
