Alpes-Maritimes coming 20th in the rankings. A rather respectable score but with very uneven performance. The department ranks as ninth in waste management, but ranks 78th position for the quality of its air.
However, we note its ranking water quality. This information is particularly important that travelers often ask if they can drink the tap water.
The eight criteria are waste management, air quality and water, the level of organic farming and renewable energy, sustainable consumption, protection of biodiversity and the degree of community involvement in sustainable development policies.
