Perceived Environmental Performance Index
Esty & Levy · 2006
Overview
A perceptual measure assessing individuals' subjective evaluations of environmental performance — how well they believe their country, community, or organization is performing on key environmental indicators such as air quality, water quality, biodiversity protection, climate policy, and waste management. Distinct from the objective Yale Environmental Performance Index (EPI), this instrument captures lay perceptions and evaluations of environmental performance, which may diverge substantially from objective indicators. Used in environmental psychology and political psychology research to understand public environmental satisfaction and policy support.
