Which are some of the safest places on earth ?

By -

 Determining the "safest place" on Earth depends on several factors, including natural disasters, political stability, economic conditions, healthcare, climate change, and overall quality of life. While no place is completely free of risks, certain regions tend to be safer based on their lower exposure to natural hazards, stable governance, and overall livability. Here are a few locations often considered among the safest:

1. Iceland

  • Natural Safety: Iceland has no active volcanoes that pose imminent threats to populated areas and no earthquakes or extreme weather patterns.
  • Climate Safety: It is largely insulated from climate change effects like rising sea levels due to its geography.
  • Political Stability: One of the world's most peaceful countries with low crime rates and a strong healthcare system.

2. New Zealand

  • Natural Safety: Relatively free from most extreme natural disasters, though it does experience occasional earthquakes.
  • Climate Safety: Minimal impact from climate change and has diverse geography with low coastal population density.
  • Political Stability: Politically stable, with a high quality of life, low crime, and strong environmental protections.

3. Finland

  • Natural Safety: Very low risk of natural disasters (no earthquakes, tsunamis, or hurricanes).
  • Political Stability: Highly stable, with excellent social welfare systems and education.
  • Climate Safety: Though it has a cold climate, it is not expected to suffer significantly from climate change impacts.

4. Switzerland

  • Natural Safety: Located inland with a mountainous geography that provides some protection from climate change (minimal sea-level rise impact).
  • Political Stability: Strong political neutrality, high economic security, and a very safe environment.
  • Healthcare & Safety: Excellent healthcare system, low crime rates, and high quality of life.

5. Canada (Northern Regions)

  • Natural Safety: Low incidence of natural disasters like earthquakes or hurricanes in many parts of the country.
  • Climate Safety: Some parts of Canada, especially the northern regions, are less affected by climate change.
  • Political Stability: Politically stable, with a high standard of living, good healthcare, and extensive wilderness areas for a stable environment.

6. Australia (Tasmania)

  • Natural Safety: Tasmania is insulated from many of the natural disasters that affect mainland Australia (e.g., bushfires and extreme heat).
  • Climate Safety: Temperate climate with lower risks from global warming compared to other regions.
  • Political Stability: High quality of life, strong social services, and stable governance.

7. Japan (Hokkaido)

  • Natural Safety: While Japan has earthquake risks, Hokkaido (in the north) is less prone to seismic activity compared to other parts of Japan.
  • Climate Safety: It has a temperate climate and is less affected by climate change.
  • Political Stability: Japan is a technologically advanced and politically stable country with low crime rates.

Key Considerations:

  • Political and Social Stability: Countries with stable governments, low crime, and good healthcare, like Scandinavian nations (Norway, Sweden) and New Zealand, offer a safer environment for long-term living.
  • Climate Change: Countries further away from rising sea levels and extreme weather, such as Iceland and inland parts of Canada, are considered safer from the effects of climate change.
  • Natural Disasters: Locations away from fault lines, volcanoes, and hurricane zones—such as Switzerland and parts of northern Europe—are generally safer in terms of natural disasters.

In summary, while no place is entirely risk-free, regions with political stability, low natural disaster risk, and resilient infrastructure—like Iceland, New Zealand, and northern Europe—tend to rank among the safest places to live on Earth.

In most of the western countries and developing countries are launching the new concept called the “ Recycling Malls ” in major cities and towns across their countries. The main objective of the recycle mart is to sell the used products (ex: used plastic, glass, paper, etc.). This is an innovative way of making things and helping in reducing environmental pollution in the surroundings across the globe.   There are different kinds of pollutions that are generated effecting Air, Water, Land, Food, Sea, Ocean pollutions. It is damaging the EARTH gradually and impacting directly and indirectly that are highly toxic and increase the scope of new harmful viruses etc.   Issue: Wastes are different types that are generated in the world which is mostly produced by man. Anything that is produced excess and unable to control is added into pollutant list. The recycling plants are getting adopted across the globe with different techniques, methodologies and Strategic ways in c...

Solar panels installed on the roof with a capacity of 11.5 MW in Punjab state in India India’s solar mission which has kept at a target of 175 GW and the government is trying to keep its word to generate power from all kinds of Renewable Energy Resources. As it is focused on Solar, Wind and Biomass power generation technologies. We all know that a roof is the zero cost of land and uses the space for solar panel installation. There is no requirement of a special setup is installing the solar roof. Depending upon the roof size and shading and direction of the sunlight is considered for setting up the solar panels. But, most of them have small or medium roofs that can generate in kiloWatts (kW) or Megawatt (MW) scale. In Amritsar, there is an installation od 11.5 MW capacity of a solar power plant which is completely covered with solar roof which will benefit 8000 households was built by Radha Saomi Satsang Beas (RSSB), a religious organization in Punjab.

Honda is one of the popular brands in the Indian automobile industry. with the Activa petrol scooter with multiple versions, the company is come up with an electric version which Indian consumers are awaiting for the same. Apart from their plans to launch the electric vehicle in the Indian market, some of the key points are strong enough for Honda can capture a great EV market share in the country. Kinetic Honda is the predecessor for Honda Activa which was a big hit in 90s.  Year wise Activa Models released by Honda:  2001,  2002,  2007,  2008,  2009,  2018,  2019,  2020,  2021 Some of the key advantages for Honda can be a great EV market giant compared with startups and OEMs due to the following: Charging facilities in service stations: As Honda has 334+ service stations [1] across various states in India, the majority of them are bigger compared to other two-wheeler service stations. So a large charging infrastructure network and fa...

India is witnessing a new chapter in the growth of the renewable sector, mainly in the solar sector. Hence, any new breakthrough in the field of solar cells and solar power generation is beneficial for India. New technology is being developed in the University of Chicago within the confines of its chemistry laboratory by Professor “Luping Yu”. A new kind of solar panel was designed and manufactured which has a higher efficiency when compared with the currently running modules used for power generation. The given polymer solar cell consists of a new polymer, called "PID2". The new polymer improves the efficiency of electrical power generation by 15 per cent when added to a standard polymer-fullerene mixture. New light has been shed on solar power generation using devices made with polymers. Researchers identified a new polymer a type of large molecule that forms plastics and other familiar materials which improved the efficiency of solar cells. The group also determined th...
