Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI): Germanwatch, Climate Action Network (CAN) and New Climate Institute jointly published the 17th edition of the Climate Change Performance Index 2022 on 10 November 2021.
The report underscores that the major economy which announced their Net zero-emission targets performed poorly in climate change performance in 2021.
This year, India ranked at the 10th position in the index and continues to be among the top-performing countries within G20.
The report stated, "As an independent monitoring tool, the CCPI (Climate Change Performance Index) has a leading role in providing information on the Paris Agreement's implementation phase. The CCPI has provided analysis of countries' climate protection performance since 2005."

About CCPI
1- The Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) is an annual report published by Germanwatch, Climate Action Network (CAN) and New Climate Institute since 2005.
2- CCPI is an independent monitoring tool that tracks the climate protection performance of around 60 countries and the European Union. These countries collectively generate about 90% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
3- It aims to enhance transparency in international climate politics and enables a comparison of climate protection efforts and progress made by individual countries.
4- The report analyses countries in four categories having 14 indicators-- Greenhouse gas emissions (40% of total score), Renewable energy (20%), Energy use (20%) and Climate policy (20%).
