leading countries in climate change

Who is the biggest contributor to climate change?
Fossil fuels – coal, oil and gas – are by far the largest contributor to global climate change, accounting for over 75 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 90 per cent of all carbon dioxide emissions.
Which country has the most carbon emissions 2023?
The United States, the planet's second largest emitter after China, saw emissions decline 3% in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to a long-term decline in coal use driven by both economic and environmental factors, said Earth system scientist Rob Jackson of Stanford University, who has chaired the Global Carbon
Which country is leading on net zero?
Finland.
Finland is breaking all records when it comes to targets: the country aims to be a net zero economy by 2035.
Oil, coal and natural gas power generation have been declining steadily since 2010, as the country increases its share of biofuels, nuclear, hydro, wind and solar energy._{13 avr. 2023}
The UK is decarbonising its economy faster than any other country in the G20, new analysis by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) has claimed.

The Climate Change Performance Index

The CPPI, or The Climate Change Performance Index, is an independent resource used to monitor and track the climate protection and performance for countries around the world. The CPPI grades 57 countries, evaluating them with four key categories: their Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG), their renewable energy, their total energy use and their c

The Best and The Worst

As sobering as it may sound, no country occupies the top three places for climate change action. This is because no country has performed well enough to in all four categories to rank in very high on the climate change index. For this reason, the top three performers rank only as high. The current top performers for 2020 are Sweden, Denmark and Mor

Performance of The Us and Canada

Canadas' total ranking is 55, putting it in the very lowend of the scale across the CPPI categories, and is currently not on track to meet the -2 degrees Celsius target lines. Canada is ranked highly internationally, but there is a lack of cohesion between Canada's policies and the execution and implementation of those policies. For the first time,

at The Crossroads

The CPPI's 2020 ranking is a cause of concern. No country has sufficiently met the environmental targets to rank in the top three. The 2020 CPPI disclosed that, while it is clear that many countries are currently trailing in their targets, even a concerted effort across all countries may not be enough to provide long-term halting of climate change
