But the city with the best quality of life overall was Bern in Switzerland, which was named the second-best European capital when it comes to green living. According to this research, Bern is one of the happiest and healthiest places in Europe to live, only receiving censures for the number of CO2 emissions per person, which were more than double the average in Vienna. In fact, Bern’s CO2 emissions eclipsed almost everyone else on the rankings, including London.

The least green capital in Europe is Moscow, with high air pollution, insanely high CO2 emissions, plenty of congestion on the roads and hours spent in traffic. Joining Moscow at the bottom of the rankings were Athens, Lisbon, Sofia and Paris, which came in at number 21. Paris scored highly on cycle lanes but badly needs to improve its CO2 emissions and air pollution levels.

So there you have it. Excuse us while we plan to move to Bern, Vienna and Helsinki.

These are the greenest capital cities in Europe
