most climate-related displacement is within a country's borders, some, especially the affluent, may consider moving to another country for bluer skies and cleaner air.
InterNations, a resource website for expats, surveyed some 15,000 people who chose to leave their country of birth. Analysts asked them to rate their new home country on a variety of environmental factors, including their perception of the air quality, how strongly they think the government is tackling climate change, and rating local recycling and waste management efforts. Each factor was weighted and then countries were given an overall ranking.
The US ranked 30th out of the 60 countries where people were surveyed, coming just behind Bahrain and before Panama. The low ranking was mainly because expats think the federal government does not care enough about climate change. An American living in Luxembourg said the "access to nature for hiking and bicycling" was a big benefit of living there.
A Philippine expat said that the country is "the most organized, the most environmentally friendly, and the most beautiful country" he has lived in so far.View the country's natural environment positively: 97%A Ukrainian expat said that "the beautiful nature, the clean air and tap water, and the focus on the environment" are what she enjoys most about life in Norway.
What, if anything, do these countries in the top 10 have in common with how they address climate change and pollution? Also will the United States rank of 30 drop after the recent forest fires in California that have caused people to start fleeing the west coast?
