I came across in this site, CNNGO. It features about the result of the World's Happiest Countries. The said survey was conducted by the UNDP (United Nations Human Development).
Qouted from UNDP website:
"The Report shows further how the world’s most disadvantaged people suffer the most from environmental degradation, including in their immediate personal environment, and disproportionately lack political power, making it all the harder for the world community to reach agreement on needed global policy changes. The Report also outlines great potential for positive synergies in the quest for greater equality and sustainability, especially at the national level. The Report further emphasizes the human right to a healthy environment, the importance of integrating social equity into environmental policies, and the critical importance of public participation and official accountability. The 2011 Report concludes with a call for bold new approaches to global development financing and environmental controls, arguing that these measures are both essential and feasible."
Norway ranked number one as the world's happiest country. While Philippines belongs to the group of Medium Human Development and ranked on 112. Filipinos, are you happy with this result? I don't think so.
