India “is already on track to meet its 2030 emissions target (which is compatible with a well-below-2☌ scenario), close to achieving its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) target of a 40% share for non-fossil fuel installed power capacity by 2030, and on course for a targeted 33–35% reduction in energy intensity by the same year” said the report. The report rated the performance ‘high’ in the GHG emissions, energy use and climate policy categories, and medium in renewable energy. The report pointed out that India maintained a strong performance like last year. India on track to achieve its climate targets They all slipped down several positions compared to the year before. The last five in the ladder were Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Canada and Taiwan. None of the countries could fare well enough to have ‘very high’ rating, a repetition of earlier year, as none could score more than 80 per cent or above.
The CCPI has provided analysis of countries’ climate protection performance since 2005,” the report read. “As an independent monitoring tool, the CCPI has a leading role providing information on the Paris Agreement’s implementation phase. The report, published by German-watch along with Climate Action Network (CAN) and New Climate Institute, was released November 10 on the sidelines of the 26th session of the Conference of the Parties (CoP26) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It continued to be among the top-performing countries within Group of 20.
India, however, maintained its 10th rank like last year. Major emitting economies that announced their Net Zero emission release targets fared poorly in their climate change performance over 2021, the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) 2022 report has found.
