To reach one of the top three ranks, the incoming Government needs to improve Denmark’s performance in energy efficiency.Ĭhile is also one of the leaders of this year’s CCPI, moving up three ranks to sixth place and remaining among the high performing countries.
However, despite adopting policies such as a CO 2 tax, Denmark is currently not yet on track to meet its 50 % emission reduction target by 2025 (compared to 1990 levels).
Denmark is the only country with a ‘high’ national and even ‘very high’ rated international climate policy. As in the previous year, they led in almost all individual categories in the index. The current frontrunner in climate mitigation continues to be Denmark. None of the 60 largest emitters is on a 1.5☌ pathway yet, which means that the first three ranks of the index remain unoccupied. However, the largest emitter, China, falls sharply behind, dropping 13 ranks (now ranked 51) in the new index to the ‘very low’ category and joining the second largest emitter, the US (ranked 52). Countries such as Chile, Morocco and India (ranked 6 to 8) have consistently performed well in the CCPI and are closing in on leading countries such as Denmark and Sweden (ranked 4 and 5). However, many countries used this moment as a turning point for ambitious climate mitigation through rapid improvements in energy efficiency and renewable energy. The current energy crisis clearly demonstrates how the world remains dependent on fossil fuels.
