India has been ranked 8th out of 63 countries in the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) 2023.
India has moved up two places from 10th position to 8th position as compared to last year.
The report was published by three environmental non-governmental organisations that track climate performance of the European Union and 59 countries, which together account for over 92 per cent of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the world.
The report leaves the first three places empty as "no country performed well enough in all index categories to achieve an overall very high rating". It puts Denmark in fourth place, followed by Sweden and Chile.
The US moved up three spots to claim position 52.
The weakest performers were Kazakhstan (61st), Saudi Arabia (62nd), and Iran (63rd).
The CCPI, which has been published since 2005, aims to enhance transparency in international climate politics and it enables comparison of individual countries' climate protection efforts and progress.
