74th in the HPI

HPI stands for Happy Planet Index and the UK comes 73 places below Costa Rica.

The HPI is an efficiency measure: the degree to which long and happy lives (life satisfaction and life expectancy are multiplied together to calculate happy life years) are achieved per unit of environmental impact.
