Abstract
In this article we will calculate the environmental performance index for the states of the south-southeast of the Mexican Republic in order to find which are the states of this region that present environmental difficulties and which are the ones that have obtained the best results during the year 2014. Being the state of Oaxaca, it is the one with the worst environmental performance.References
