Muscat: Oman has reached a notable environmental achievement, securing the top position among Arab nations and 22nd worldwide in the 2025 Global Pollution Index, as reported by the Numbeo platform.
This ranking highlights Oman's commitment to maintaining environmental quality and fostering sustainability through focused initiatives aimed at minimizing pollution and improving overall quality of life.
The Global Pollution Index assesses various factors, such as air and water quality, waste management, noise pollution, and the presence of green spaces. Oman's relatively low pollution levels in the region have significantly contributed to its impressive ranking.
The country’s robust environmental regulations and sustainable practices have been instrumental in this accomplishment. The government has emphasized the adoption of clean energy, afforestation efforts, and sophisticated waste management systems to ensure a healthy and pristine environment.
This success is particularly noteworthy as many developed countries face serious environmental issues stemming from urbanization and industrial growth. Oman’s experience serves as a benchmark for both the region and the global community. The ranking also highlights the essential role of the Environment Authority in implementing environmental strategies that align with Oman Vision 2040, which focuses on sustainable development and the preservation of natural resources for future generations.
Oman’s ranking reinforces its reputation as not only a desirable place to live due to its clean environment but also as a global exemplar of harmonizing economic development with environmental stewardship.
