Key Findings
  • The CCPI intentionally leaves the top three ranks empty to signal that no country’s performance is fully consistent with 1.5°C targets.
  • The index highlights that strong climate policy and improving trends can raise performance even for countries with modest absolute emissions.
  • Comparisons across countries can differ from raw emissions rankings because CCPI emphasizes trajectories, targets, and policy quality.

About This Statistic

The Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) is an annual ranking that compares how well countries are performing on climate protection. It aggregates indicators across four pillars: greenhouse-gas emissions (40%), renewable energy (20%), energy use (20%), and climate policy (20%). Scores range from 0 to 100 (higher is better). The CCPI is notable because the top three ranks are traditionally left empty to reflect that no country is currently doing enough to meet the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C pathway.

This statistic is interesting because it blends “hard” outcome metrics (emissions levels and trends, energy use, renewable shares and trajectories) with an assessment of national climate policy (based on expert evaluations). It allows a global, comparable snapshot of who is leading—and lagging—on climate action, beyond headline emissions totals alone.
