The Happy Planet Index is an innovative new measure that shows the ecological
efficiency with which human well-being is delivered around the world. It is the
first ever index to combine environmental impact with well-being to measure the
environmental efficiency with which country by country, people live long and
happy lives. The results are surprising, even shocking, but there is much to
learn from what they show.
