India was ranked 87th among 115 countries in the Energy Transition Index (ETI) released by the World Economic Forum (WEF) on April 22, 2021
- The ETI tracks nations on the current performance of their energy systems across various aspects.
- The index was topped by Sweden followed by Norway and Denmark.
- Among the world’s 10 largest economies, only the United Kingdom and France feature in the top 10.
- The Top 10 account for only around 3% of energy-related CO2 emissions and around 2% of the global population.
- Notably, large emerging centers of demand, such as China and India, have seen strong improvements, says the report.
- The Energy Transition Index, which benchmarks 115 countries on the performance of their energy systems, finds that while 92 of the countries increased their score over the past 10 years, only 10% of countries were able to make consistent gains, showing the need for renewed focus and resilience to meet the climate goals of the next decade.
