In the first-ever Environment and Sustainability Ranking published by InterNations - a network of expats around the world - the Netherlands has been ranked 12th out of 60 destinations for expats when it comes to sustainable living.
The
data for the ranking was gathered via InterNations’ annual Expat
Insider Survey, one of the most extensive surveys about living and
working abroad, in which participants were asked to rate, on a scale of
one to seven, their personal satisfaction in eight separate areas: air
quality, the natural environment, water and sanitation, the availability
of green goods and services, energy supply, local waste management and
recycling infrastructure. The rating also covers perception of local
government support for environmental policies and how invested the local
population is in environmental issues.
Over 15.000 expats took
part in the Expat Insider 2020, representing a total of 173
nationalities and living in 181 different countries or territories. For a
country to be included in the ranking, a sample size of at least 75
respondents was necessary - this year, 60 countries met this
requirement. The survey covers a number of issues, including making friends as an expat and the best cities around the world for expats.
