A comparison of the 58 top CO2 emitting nations
The Climate Change Performance Index is an instrument
supposed to enhance transparency in international climate politics. Its
aim is to encourage political and social pressure on those countries
which have, up to now, failed to take ambitious actions on climate
protection as well as to highlight countries with best-practice climate
policies. On the basis of standardised criteria, the index evaluates
and compares the climate protection performance of 58 countries that
are, together, responsible for more than 90 percent of global
energy-related CO2 emissions. 80 percent of the evaluation is
based on objective indicators of emissions trend and emissions level.
20 percent of the index results are built upon national and
international climate policy assessments by more than 200 experts from
the respective countries.
