This week, the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) 2021 was released. The CCPI analyses and compares climate protection across 57 countries (plus EU as a whole) with the highest emissions. Together these countries account for 90 percent of global emissions. The index aims to enhance transparency in international climate politics and enable comparison of mitigation efforts and progress made by individual countries.
Richard Fuller, MP for North East Bedfordshire and Member of the Select Committee for Business and Energy which is overseeing the COP26 arrangements, said:
Good to see that the UK has climbed to 4th place on this index, and even this is somewhat misleading as the top 3 places are currently blank as they are reserved for countries achieving a 'very high' rating. As such, only Sweden stands above the UK on the World rankings.
