The Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) 2024 was released by by Germanwatch during the global climate conference (COP-28) in Dubai.
Key points
- India has been placed 7th in the CCPI 2024. The country improved one rank from the previous one, and also remained among the highest performers.
- According to a report, India maintained its top 10 position for the fifth year in a row.
- Technically, only three countries – Denmark, Estonia and Philippines – are above India as no country performs well enough in all four assessed categories to achieve a perfect score on CCPI. That is why, no country was placed in the three ranks.
- India’s rank is the best amongst the G20 countries. China, the largest polluter came in at number 51 while the US, the second biggest emitter came in at number 57.
