About This Dataset
Countries with the Cleanest Air 2023Greenland (1.64), Northern Mariana Islands (2.68) and Guam (3.47) record the three lowest figures. Across the twenty shown, values run from 1.64 up to 6.41, a spread of 4.77. Northern Mariana Islands, the next country up, records 1.63 times the figure for Greenland. 2 of the 20 sit within double the lowest figure, 3.28 or less. The chart shows the twenty lowest of 200 reporting countries, so it describes the bottom of the distribution rather than the world average. Countries recorded as zero are left out: the World Bank writes zero where a country did not report.
