Climate Change Performance Index

GHG Emissions

The Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) is an instrument designed by the German environmental and development organization Germanwatch e.V. to enhance transparency in international climate politics. On the basis of standardized criteria, the index evaluates and compares the climate protection performance of 64 countries and the European Union (EU) (Status 2020), which are together responsible for more than 90% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Climate Change Performance Index was first published in 2005 and an updated version is presented at the UN Climate Change Conference annually. Germanwatch publishes the index in cooperation with the NewClimate Institute and Climate Action Network International and with financial support from Barthel Foundation.

In 2017, the underlying methodology of the CCPI was revised and adapted to the new climate policy framework of the Paris Agreement from 2015. The CCPI was extended in order to include the measurement of a country’s progress towards the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and the country’s 2030 targets.

The national performances are assessed based on 14 indicators in the following four categories:

  • GHG Emissions
  • Renewable Energy
  • Energy Use
  • Climate Policy
