New Zealand
Did you know that zero percent of the population of New Zealand is exposed to unsafe air pollution levels? That’s because New Zealand is one of the cleanest countries in the world, with the cleanest air of them all.Â
“The grid here is incredibly ‘green’—a huge proportion (81 percent) of NZ’s electricity is generated from renewable resources,” reported Forbes. “[Additionally,] almost one-third of the terrestrial and marine area is protected, the highest share among the top 15 countries doing the most to protect the environment.”
