Nordic Countries Claim 4 of Top 5 Spots in Environmental Sustainability
The Nordic countries ranked highest in environmental sustainability, a survey released Friday at the World Economic Forum reported.

Finland claimed the top spot among the list of 146 countries surveyed by a team of environmental experts at Yale and Columbia Universities in the United States. Rounding out the top five were Norway, Uruguay, Sweden and Iceland.

Those countries were cited for their ability to combine good management of their natural resources in concert with new development.

The United States was ranked No. 45.
