綠色快樂指數 - Happy Planet Index 是最近由一個稱為 ”The New Economics Foundation” (nef) 所創造來衡量各地對人民造福以及對生態利用的結合效果. 依據 nef 公佈的解釋 :
“The Happy Planet Index is an innovative new measure that shows the ecological efficiency with which human well-being is delivered around the world. It is the first ever index to combine environmental impact with well-being to measure the environmental efficiency with which country by country, people live long and happy lives. The results are surprising, even shocking, but there is much to learn from what they show.
The nations that top the Index aren’t the happiest places in the world, but the nations that score well show that achieving, long, happy lives without over-stretching the planet’s resources is possible. The Happy Planet Index (HPI) strips the view of the economy back to its absolute basics: what we put in (resources), and what comes out (human lives of different length and happiness). “
想多了解 HPI 的讀者可以到 nef 的網站仔細看一看. HPI 是用下列的公式計算得來:
HPI = [Life Satisfaction] x [Life Expectation] / [Ecological Footprint]
在 nef 的專家們的理想 HPI 是 83.5 . 目前他們調查 178 個國家都沒有一個國家達到這個理想的標準. HPI 大致可以表示在某種社會型態下, 人民的平均快樂壽命. 它也能指示國家利用其自然資源使其公民安康樂居的效率.
以下列出一些典型的國家依[國家]; [排名]; [HPI 值]作比較:
Big Eagle 發現台灣及美國的 Life Satisfaction 及 Life Expectation 還不低但是Ecological Footprint 卻也很高.
