    Government Effectiveness

    Assesses the quality of public services, the quality of the civil service and its independence from political pressures, the quality of policy formulation and implementation, and the credibility of the government’s commitment to such policies. This indicator is essential for gauging a government’s capability to effectively manage and administer its functions, including the implementation of laws and regulations across all sectors.

    In terms of environmental conservation, government effectiveness plays a crucial role. Effective governments can develop, implement, and enforce environmental regulations consistently and transparently. They ensure that policies aimed at protecting ecosystems and biodiversity are well-designed and adaptable to new scientific findings and changing environmental conditions. Additionally, effective government fosters collaboration among various stakeholders, including local communities, non-governmental organizations, and international bodies, enhancing collective efforts towards sustainable development.

    The higher the score, the better the country ranks for this parameter.

    The table is sorted from the highest score to the lowest:
