Crux of the Matter
The Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) 2019 is published by Germanwatch and the New Climate Institute along with the Climate Action Network (CAN).
India’s performance majorly improved in the Renewable Energy category, joining the group of medium performers.
Low levels of per capita GHG emissions and a relatively ambitious mitigation target for 2030 has given India an overall high rating in the emissions category.
Sweden and Morocco are the leading countries by making significant expansion of renewable energy.
The countries that scored low in almost all categories are Saudi Arabia, the United States, Iran, South Korea and Taiwan.
Curiopedia
Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) is an independent monitoring tool of countries’ climate protection performance. It aims to enhance transparency in international climate politics and enables the comparability of climate protection efforts and progress made by individual countries. Based on standardised criteria, the index evaluates and compares the climate protection performance of 56 countries and the EU, which are together responsible for more than 90 percent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
