Hungary ranks 35th out of 60 destinations

The Environment & Sustainability Ranking is based on eight individual factors, such as expats’  satisfaction with the availability of green goods and services and the air quality. It also includes their perception of how much the government supports policies to protect the environment and how  interested the local population is when it comes to environmental issues.  

Hungary lands in the lower half of the Environment & Sustainability Ranking (35th out of 60 countries)  ranking below average for most factors featured in the survey.

It does best in the Quality of  Environment subcategory (32nd): Expats rate the factor water and sanitation better than the global  average (76% positive ratings vs. 72% globally). However, only three in four respondents (75%) like the  natural environment in Hungary (vs. 82% globally), and less than half (49%) are satisfied with the air  quality (vs. 62% globally).
