Index Commentary

Trinidad & Tobago increases in the Index by 11 ranks due to increased energy security. The rise in energy security was driven by a reduction in the 5-year energy consumption growth rate and an increase in the diversity of electricity production, and is supported by a good ratio of production to total energy supply and a good diversity of energy exports. Weak performance and further deteriorations across all environmental indicators led to a small drop in environmental performance overall. Performance in social equity and the contextual dimensions remains overall stable. Societal strength overall struggles most with its performance in health.
