Those who want to study how the Environment Performance Index is calculated, go here to the Yale University Site http://epi.yale.edu/ .
The EPI ranks countries for addressing environment concerns.
India ranks a lowly 125th in addressing pollution control and natural resource management challenges with Switzerland taking the top spot, according to the 2012 Environmental Performance Index (EPI).
China ranks 116th in the Index produced by researchers at Yale and Columbia Universities in collaboration with the World Economic Forum, reflecting the strain rapid economic growth imposes on the environment in emerging economies.
Brazil ranks 30th, however, suggesting that a concerted focus on sustainability as a policy priority will pay dividends - and that the level and pace of development is just one of many factors affecting environmental performance, according to the index released in Davos.

We can also improve our environment performance index by encouraging our indusrialists with incentives.
CII is doing a great job in this direction by giving away Environmental Best Practices Awards to the deserving industries.
