The results of the regression analysis in Table 2 show that there are
very strong correlations in some cases, as there are very weak correlations in
other cases. We registered very strong positive correlations between GHGs
total and GDP, respectively, between GHGs total and total employment. Also,
very strong positive correlations are between GHGs from energy/transport and
GDP, respectively, between GHGs from energy/transport and total
employment. That shows the very close relationship between environmental
indicators and the economic sustainability. We found only a mild positive
correlation between the percentage of GHGs from energy/transport in total
emissions and the social indicators (life expectancy and healthy life years).
This shows that even if weaker than in the case of economic sustainability,
there is a significant relationship between environmental indicators and social
sustainability. We registered very weak negative correlations between all
environmental indicators and the unemployment rate
