The rankings are based on how well the countries have been doing to halve their emissions by 2030- an essential aspect to keeping the 1.5 degree Celsius goal within reach and preventing dangerous climate change.
The report leaves the first three places in the ranking empty as no country has performed well enough in all the index categories to achieve an overall very high rating.
The report puts Denmark in fourth place, followed by Sweden and Chile.
China, which is also the world’s biggest polluter, fell 13 places to 51st in CCPI 2022 and also received an overall very-low rating due to the plans for new coal-fired power plants.
The United States rose by three ranks to the 52nd, Iran (63rd), Saudi Arabia (62nd) and Kazakhstan (61st) fared the worst.
India stands at 8th position and the report noted that India is among the 9 countries responsible for 90 percent of global coal production.
