台灣習慣拿競爭力來做指標，似乎這個新聞議題卻很少人注意，看了結果，嚇了一大跳，台北幾乎可以和曼谷、北京、上海這些比較不注重環保的都市相比擬。

我個人很想看到這是如何計算的，因為考慮Green的角度，和許多的看法會有點不同，甚至有點會爭議，說不定是數據取得上的關係。

幾年前，朋友力勸我到中國發展，不要被限在這，我都是以我到中國許多都市不是很愉快的經驗以及我熟知一些中國污染的報告告知他們。目前看到這報告，有點自打嘴巴，台北也沒有好多少!

我很希望聽到台北市郝市長能對此發表看法，因為在台北市政府，有環保背景的官員不少，是非常少見的"綠色"官員，如果是這樣的數據，似乎每個人都要打屁股。

以我個人看台北市在面對氣候變遷及環境議題上的主動性，的確是不大積極，老實說我更是有點失望，不過這是個人私下看法。

Just because a country or place is environmentally “fit” doesn’t mean you’d want to spend your life there – think jungles or the Antarctic. But finding the perfect balance between what’s green and what’s livable could lead you to paradise. Aiming for that ideal, we researched the world’s greenest countries while also ensuring they were ones where people could thrive. Along the way, we also unearthed the worst places in the world to live.

We analysed data from top sources covering 141 nations to rank the planet’s greenest, most livable places.
