Emerging Innovator - Environmental Sustainability Index for Europe
Environmental sustainability captures improvements to reducing the negative impact on the environment including three indicators: Resource productivity, Exposure to Air pollution by fine particulates PM2.5, and the Development of environment-related technologies.
Environmental sustainability
o Resource productivity (measured as domestic material consumption (DMC) in relation to GDP)
o Air emissions by fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in Industry
o Development of environment-related technologies
