Abstract: The sustainable development of the planet and ensuring a sustainable future for future generations requires harmonizing the relationship between wellbeing and natural resources consumed, between happy life expectancy and the biocapacity of the planet. An indicator that evaluates this report is the Happy Planet Index (HPI) whose calculation mode includes three variables: life expectancy, experienced wellbeing and ecological footprint. Starting from these, the paper analyzes the degree of concentration of 46 European states, both through the lens of the HPI and its three components, highlighting the relationships between happy life expectancy and biocapacity per capita in each of them. Also, the position of the member states of the European Union is highlighted, both among the other European states and among the states of the world.
