India Slips to 10th Position in CCPI 2025, Down from 7th in 2024.

International

In the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) 2025, India secured the 10th position with a score of 67.99, dropping three places from its 7th rank in 2024. Despite this decline, India remains among the top-performing countries in global climate action.


      - India achieved a high rating in the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions and Energy Use categories, a medium rating in Climate Policy, and a low rating in Renewable Energy.

      - The CCPI 2025 left the top three positions vacant due to the absence of any country achieving a "very high" overall rating. Denmark topped the index at the 4th position, followed by the Netherlands (6th) and the United Kingdom (UK) (7th).

     

Main Point :-   (i) The Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) has been published annually since 2005 by three environmental non-governmental organisations (NGOs). These are Germanwatch, based in Bonn, Germany; the NewClimate Institute, located in Cologne, Germany; and the Climate Action Network (CAN) International, headquartered in Beirut, Lebanon.

      (ii) The CCPI 2025 edition evaluates the climate performance of 63 countries and the European Union (EU), which collectively account for over 90% of global Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.
