A Once powered largely by nuclear power plants, Germany has in the past decade switched its energy production to safer means. Its success in developing such forms has been so profound that it is now the largest exporter of energy in Europe. What is more, the country is doing this with renewable energy. The country's goals are to be 100% reliant on renewable energy, which the government hopes to achieve by 2050.

B Mass transit in Colombia's capital, Bogotá, has greatly benefited from a redesign the government embarked on recent years. City planners created a bus rapid transit system within just three years that has lowered greenhouse gas emissions significantly. Because of its success, mass transit developers from all over the world visit Bogotá in order to learn more about this transport system, which focuses less on cars and more on buses and bicycles.

C In Denmark, power sharing with its neighbours has become a common practice. Boasting the world's first profitable offshore wind farm, Denmark actually stopped importing fossil fuels in the 1970s. The country has energy deals with Norway, Sweden and Finland in which energy is stored in these country's power systems, then sent back when demand in Denmark rises. Workers in Denmark's electricity grid actually direct energy 'traffic' back and forth between nations.

D A small, landlocked country with a high population density, Austria has made recent strides in developing alternative energy sources. It seems the country has no choice in the matter – what land is available is mostly mountains, and nearly half the country is covered in forests. Heavily polluting power plants are simply not an option. Thus, the country derives 62% of its energy needs from wind, solar, hydropower and biomass energy.

E Singapore is one of the smallest countries in the world and has one of the densest populations. As such, environmental legislation is extremely important if the city-state wants to preserve what little natural resources it still possesses. These laws, however, have been instrumental in saving Singapore's last remaining rainforest. Building development in Singapore must also adhere to strict standards concerning water management, recycling and air quality.

F Once hit hard by poor resource management, Costa Rica has bounced back after embarking on an ecological campaign in the 1940s. In a country that depends on its natural attractions for tourism, such a policy makes perfect sense. Furthermore, with 5% of the world's biodiversity packed into its small borders, preserving nature is vital. To achieve this, a quarter of the country's land has been designated as national parks.

G Brazil's infrastructure, built in the decades before energy-efficient methods were in widespread use, is currently being upgraded to make the country more competitive with global economies. One area in which the country has excelled in particular is biofuel. Nowadays, nearly 80% of Brazil's automobiles run on some form of biofuel. As a result, the country has become a leader in biofuel industries.
