11. Singapore
As one of the fastest developing countries in Asia, Singapore makes itself known for its look as a Garden City. Its reason for looking like a giant garden was from the vision of its former Prime Minister in the ‘60s to integrate both the industrial and environmental development of the country. Singapore stands out today as one of the most successful developing countries in today’s era in numerous phases (despite its land size); to prove it, they have a plan for it so better watch out for Singapore on this list for several years to come and; having laws on proper waste management isn’t something to laugh on. Perhaps a possible destination for the retiring people since it brings people get nearer to nature.
10. Canada
Known for their warm and kind reception to people, Canada also is one of the countries where cleanliness is a priority of the people. So much for their discipline and care around their surroundings, some of their cities were also ranked in the top best cities to live in. Ranked 10th on this list makes it one of the reasons why it is attractive to migrants from different parts of the world, especially in Asia.
9. United Arab Emirates
The Burj Al Arab symbolizes almost the entirety of the Middle East region; the same with UAE on how it is presented to the world. The cliché or stereotype when we tell of the Middle East, it’s always dirty and negative, but when we really see (literally) on how these people make their place as clean as possible, maybe you’ll be changing your mind on where to live and get a living. Being a modern nation, UAE stands today alongside Singapore where environment and industry come along well. Most especially by the use of technology in creating solar energy to reduce the usage of electricity and other technology to minimize the abundance of greenhouse gasses.
8. Australia
Isolated near the south pole of the planet and having the same name with its continent, Australia has remarkably become one of the happiest countries in the world. Nature, less traffic and stress make it one of the cleanest countries in the world. However, technology is needed to maintain its look.
7. Mauritius
Although the world is not that familiar with this small paradise, Mauritius gains an advantage of having less population to maintain the cleanliness of the country. Since that most countries have a population as one of the primary factors in contributing pollution, this serves an ace for them. And it’s also up to them whether to make their paradise remain a paradise or maybe in the near future, make it a disaster island avoided by most. Only a few remain to be like this, we just hope it will be better for the next generations to come.
6. Czech Republic
Czech Republic has this tradition in science where they make inventions and strategies on retrieving solutions to different problems, and this includes environmental concerns wherein this country pays more attention to. This is also one of the countries where urban living is safe and less polluted unlike most urban places have.
5. Cuba
“Health is wealth.” Why is Cuba ranked fifth on the list? It’s due to the best public health figures in the country. According to the saying, when you achieve good health, then there is something to be enjoyed. In this case, having great health gives better environment results.

4. Switzerland
Among the clean European countries, this is the most gorgeous of them all. From its landscape, clean forests and ample wildlife, living here can always be relaxing and never stressful. Pollution is not much present especially when it comes to smoke produced by vehicles because most of the modes of transportation in this country is through bicycles and feet. Another place to be on the list of possible retirement or rest sites.
3. Luxembourg
Being rich simply means that you can maintain almost everything at your scope. In this case, Luxembourg maintains its ranking in one of the cleanest countries of the world by having a lesser population (not reaching 10 million), enjoying economic stability and prioritizing environmental concerns. Thus, giving it an “A+” on the job of making it also one of the best places to live and die.
2. Norway
Having abundant resources makes a country more polluted, however if taken care of, there will always be a way on how it will not affect the environment. Norway has paid very big attention in taking care of the environment. This includes playing a big role on the international stage as a key player when it comes to the environmental issues. Well, having effective strategies lead to much success.
