Environment Performance Index jointly produced by Yale Center for Law & Environmental Policy and Columbia Center For International Earth Science Information Network, aimed to be a comprehensive assessment of the world environment challenges and how individual countries are responding to them. The EPI ranks 149 countries based on their performance within six policy categories: environmental health, air quality, water resources, biodiversity and habitat, productive natural resources (e.g., farmland, forests, fisheries) and sustainable energy . Each category is, in turn, measured by two to five indicators, or data sets. Each indicator measures the distance a country is from an established policy target, based on goals set by treaties, by international organizations or simply by the best available science (e.g., by definition, the optimum target for sustainable energy is 100 percent, and that for childhood mortality due to environmental factors is 0). On some issues,like adequate drinking water supplies, most countries are close to the target; on other issues, like sustainable energy, most are far from it. Malaysia was rank at 26th place overall and become first among OIC nations.
