Germanwatch, the New Climate Institute and the Climate Action Network (CAN) have left the top three spots on the empty Climate Change Performance Index podium, highlighting the lack of political will by most governments to bring fossil fuels up to the required pace.
The ranking is defined by the recorded performance of the different countries in 14 indicators, across 4 categories: greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, renewable energy, energy use and climate policy.
Saudi Arabia and the United States occupy the last places of this index, being poorly rated in all compartments of the assessment (greenhouse gas emissions, energy use …).
