Global Emissions Remain High Despite Renewable Energy Boom

The Climate Change Performance Index reveals a need for rapid emissions reduction as fossil fuel reliance persists.

India maintains its position among the top 10 climate performers due to low per-capita emissions and rapid renewable energy deployment.
Despite a surge in renewable energy in 2023, global emissions reductions have been insufficient to meet climate goals.
The Climate Change Performance Index highlights significant resistance from the fossil fuel lobby, impacting global climate progress.
Countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Russia rank lowest in climate performance, with minimal renewable energy adoption.
The report underscores the urgent need for countries to transition away from fossil fuels to prevent further climate change consequences.
