The new (2014) edition of the Global Green Economy Index™ (GGEI) has been published. It measures both the green economic performance of 60 countries and how experts assess that performance. The GGEI performance index uses quantitative and qualitative indicators to measure how well each country performs on four key dimensions: leadership & climate change, efficiency sectors, markets & investment and environment & natural capital. Then, the GGEI perception survey collects assessments from expert practitioners on these same four dimensions.
The GGEI was the first index of its kind, launched in 2010, and today is widely referenced and utilized by policy makers, international organizations, civil society and the private sector. Like many indices, the GGEI is a communications tool that provides nations with a relative measure of their green economic performance and how expert practitioners judge it. Both components of the GGEI are critical to better understanding how countries can leverage data analytics and strategic communications to advance their standing in the global green economy.
The GGEI is published by Dual Citizen LLC, a private U.S.-based consultancy, and supported through revenues generated by subscriptions and customized consulting offerings.
