The last years have brought into attention more than ever concerns regarding the accelerating degradation of the environmental conditions which threaten both the present but mainly the future of human society. Under such circumstances, the society and especially the governments need to acknowledge the seriousness of environment issues and be able to develop and put into practice specific policies to counteract them. In this regard, this paper performs an analysis on a group of 11 European developing countries, over the period between 2000 and 2017, aiming first to evaluate the impact of the changing environment conditions and of the governmental actions regarding environment protection, on citizens life, namely on their life expectancy. In order to evaluate, as accurately as possible, the quality of the environment we propose and elaborate upon an environmental sustainability index based on 17 proxies for environment issues, whose values reveal several similarities between some of the analyzed countries. Secondly, using this index and also several categories of public expenses as proxies for the government actions towards environment protection, we analyze their impact on the life expectancy of the citizens during the sample period and draw some specific conclusions on the actions to be taken forward by governments
