People at MoveHub have created a series of maps based on the latest data from Happy Planet Index(HPI), a global measure of sustainable well-being. The maps picture 151 countries and reveal which of them take a lead at delivering long, happy and environmentally sustainable lives to their citizens.
"Most measures of national progress put a high emphasis on the economic activity without too much concern for environmental limits or less tangible aspects, such as well-being," MoveHub states.
The company claims that the HPI advocates the idea that "happiness is not necessarily about wealth, but living long lives with a high experience of well-being within the environmental limits of the planet."
The overall index scores are based on three component measures: life expectancy, experiences, well-being and Ecological Footprint. However, the data does not consider internal inequality measures and human rights issues.
Europe
According to the data, Europe's happiest countries are Albania (54.1), Norway (51.4), and Switzerland (50.3). The least happy countries include Macedonia (28.3), Bulgaria (34.1) and the Eauropean part of Russia (34.5).
