Climate policies have deteriorated in many countries, and the world is making little progress toward the Paris Climate Agreement goals. This is the conclusion of the new „Climate Change Performance Index 2024“ by Germanwatch and the New Climate Institute. None of the 63 countries examined is on a path compatible with the 1.5-degree target. In the climate policy sub-rating, not a single country scores „good“ for the first time. The index assessed the climate policy, emissions, renewable energy metrics, and energy consumption of the countries.
