India in top five countries on Climate Change

Based on its climate change performance, India has been ranked among the top five countries in the world, and the best among the G20 countries. According to the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI, 2023) published by German Watch, New Climate Institute, and Climate Action Network International in Germany, India has risen two places to eighth place. Denmark, Sweden, Chile, and Morocco are the only four small countries ranked above India in the most recent CCPI report, which was released at COP 27 in November 2022. No country received the first, second, or third place. As a result, India's ranking is the highest among all large economies.

The CCPI aims to increase transparency in international climate politics by allowing comparisons of individual countries' climate protection efforts and progress. The Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI), which has been published annually since 2005, is an independent monitoring tool for tracking the climate protection performance of 59 countries and the EU. Every year, the CCPI sparks heated public and political debates in the countries under consideration. The climate protection performance of these 59 countries, which account for 92 per cent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, is evaluated in four categories: GHG Emissions (40 per cent of total score), Renewable Energy (20 per cent of total score), Energy Use (20 per cent of total score), and Climate Policy (20 per cent of total score).
