Abstract
⺠We estimate global environmental efficiency in line with the Cancun vision, using a stochastic cost frontier. ⺠The study covers 170 countries during a 10 year period, ending in 2007. ⺠The biggest improvements occurred in Europe, and efficiency falls in South America. ⺠The efficiency ranking of US and China, the largest emitters, deteriorated. ⺠In 2007, highest efficiency was observed in Africa and Europe, and the lowest around China.
