The ranking results are defined by a country\u2019s aggregated performance regarding 14 indicators within the four categories \u201cGHG Emissions\u201d, \u201cRenewable Energy\u201d and \u201cEnergy Use\u201d, as well as on \u201cClimate Policy\u201d, in a globally unique policy section of the index.<\/li>\n<li>The CCPI 2019 results illustrate the main regional differences in climate protection and performance within the 56 evaluated countries and the EU. No country<br \/>\nperformed well enough to reach the ranking very good in this year\u2019s index, meaning that no country has yet made it to one of the top three places in the<br \/>\nrankings.<\/li>\n<li>In this year\u2019s index, Sweden leads the ranking, followed by Morocco and Lithuania. The bottom five in this year\u2019s CCPI are Saudi Arabia, the United States, Islamic Republic of Iran, Republic of Korea and Chinese Taipei, scoring low or very low across almost all categories.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>_______________________________________________<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>To implement the Paris Agreement, countries must raise their ambitions and enact concrete measures to make their individual contributions to the global goal. Since its first release in 2005, the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) has tracked countries\u2019 efforts to combat climate change.\u00a0\u00a0On the basis of standardised criteria, the index evaluates and compares the climate protection performance of 56 countries and the European Union, which are together responsible for more than 90% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.\u00a0\u00a0The CCPI has been an important tool in contributing to a clearer understanding of national and international climate policy. As we approach the year 2020, when countries need to submit their amended national climate targets (revised Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), the CCPI aims to inform the process of raising climate ambition.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Download PDF file: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Climate-Change-Performance-Index-Results-2019.pdf\" ><em>Climate Change Performance Index-Results 2019<\/em><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.climate-change-performance-index.org\/\" >To access the interactive database Go to Original \u2013 climate-change-performance-index.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) is an instrument designed to enhance transparency in international climate politics.
