“In draft­ing our report, we use scores of infor­ma­tion sources — includ­ing pub­licly avail­able data — to rate each country’s gen­uine com­mit­ment to envi­ron­men­tal pro­tec­tion, social wel­fare and human rights.” says Christy Hoover, co-author of the report. “Data sources include the United Nations Devel­op­ment Pro­gram, Human Rights Watch, Colum­bia Uni­ver­sity, Reporters With­out Bor­ders, the Mil­len­nium Chal­lenge Cor­po­ra­tion, and many oth­ers. Pri­vate inter­views with NGO lead­ers are part of the process, as well.”  The full report can be viewed at www.ethicaltraveler.org/destinations.
