## Countries

- [Pakistan](https://ccpi.org/country/pak/) - Pakistan rises 16 spots to 15th in the CCPI ranking. As a country highly vulnerable to, and affected by, climate change effects, Pakistan seeks L&D financial justice. Policy and implementation show potential gap that may impact success of newly submitted NDC.
- [Nigeria](https://ccpi.org/country/nga/) - Nigeria, at 17th, rises 9 spots in the CCPI ranking. Revised NDC shows clear GHG strategy, but implementation is lacking. Energy crisis stems from complex array of factors and non-energy sector struggles with changing political leadership. Policies do show potential.
- [United Arab Emirates](https://ccpi.org/country/are/) - The United Arab Emirates, at 62nd, is a very low climate performer near the bottom of the CCPI ranking. Despite its recent climate law, the UAE continues fossil fuel expansion and support, and it is not aligned with a 1.5°C pathway.
- [Uzbekistan](https://ccpi.org/country/uzb/) - Uzbekistan, at 53rd, ranks as a very low climate performer in the CCPI. Despite stronger targets and a GHG law, implementation is weak and there is no long-term net-zero strategy. The country continues to rely on fossil fuels despite EV incentives.
- [Belgium](https://ccpi.org/country/bel/) - Belgium, ranked 37th, is a low-level climate performer in the CCPI ranking. While its NDC and GHG plans align with Fit for 55, it is not on track to meet its targets. Updated NECP and a timeline for fossil phase-out are among the needs.
- [France](https://ccpi.org/country/fra/) - France, at 21st, is a medium-level climate performer in the CCPI ranking. Emissions in key sectors are continued sticking point, as country seeks to block ambitious EU target. However, civil society participation in policy is a noted strong point.
- [Japan](https://ccpi.org/country/jpn/) - Japan, at 57th in the CCPI ranking, is still a very low climate performer. Its 3rd NDC released in February is still not Paris-aligned. As ETS is lined up for 2026, but it may be inadequate. A concreate strategy to address multiple crises is needed.
- [Russian Federation](https://ccpi.org/country/rus/) - The Russian Federation holds 64th position as a very low climate performer in the CCPI ranking. NDC emissions reduction goal is deceptive, fossil fuels dominate with no end in sight, and forests struggle with climate change effects.
- [Spain](https://ccpi.org/country/esp/) - Spain, at 14th, is up 5 spots in the CCPI ranking. The country is on a solid path for emissions reductions and renewables are advancing. Progress across sectors, however, is imbalanced.
- [Austria](https://ccpi.org/country/aut/) - Austria ranks 35th in the CCPI ranking. Despite GHG emissions progress in recent years, the new government is backsliding. Public transport passes are a positive, but fossil fuel exploration persists.
- [Brazil](https://ccpi.org/country/bra/) - Brazil, ranked 27th in the CCPI, is a medium-level climate performer, showing overall policy improvement since President Lula took office in 2023. However, will for fossil fuel phase-out is lacking at national and sub-national levels.
- [India](https://ccpi.org/country/ind/) - India is down 13 spots to 23rd in the CCPI ranking, as a medium-level climate performer. Work on targets, mechanisms, green finance, and solar are positives, but coal remains a sticking point in need of a phase-down and phase-out.
- [United States](https://ccpi.org/country/usa/) - The United States nears the bottom of the CCPI ranking, at 65th under the second Trump presidency denying human-made climate change. State- and private-level initiatives are critical for climate action, with national-level support evaporated.
- [United Kingdom](https://ccpi.org/country/gbr/) - The United Kingdom ranks 5th as a high-level climate performer in the CCPI ranking. Its higher GHG reduction targets show ambition and energy efficiency is a plus, but its enhanced NDC is inadequate for meeting 1.5°C.
- [Denmark](https://ccpi.org/country/dnk/) - Denmark, at 4th, remains the highest-ranked climate performer in the CCPI. It’s on track to hit its 2030 emissions target and renewable energy and private EV usage are increasing. But ambition varies at government levels and bolder moves are possible.
- [Germany](https://ccpi.org/country/deu/) - Germany ranks 22nd, down 6 in the CCPI ranking. The country has strong targets and standards, but needs to tighten sector-wide implementation, modernise grids with renewables, raise climate finance, and strengthen policy continuity.
- [China](https://ccpi.org/country/chn/) - China, at 54th, is a very low climate performer in the CCPI. Despite promising plans and policies, the lack of targets and coal dependence continue to pull down the country’s performance.
- [Chile](https://ccpi.org/country/chl/) - Chile is 7th and among the highest climate performers in the CCPI ranking. Modern, electric vehicles show strong uptake, new NDC is somewhat more ambitious, but biomass-related pollution is a particular sticking point.
- [Thailand](https://ccpi.org/country/tha/) - Thailand, at 32nd, is a medium-level climate performer in the CCPI ranking. Country shows ambitious climate targets and long-term policy, but needs stronger implementation, and should overcome its fossil fuel dependence and update its energy framework.
- [Philippines](https://ccpi.org/country/phl/) - The Philippines, down 12 spots to 19th in the CCPI ranking, is now a medium-level climate performer. Questions hamper decarbonisation efforts’ credibility, with a lack of environmental and social safeguards. RE starting to pick up pace.
- [Poland](https://ccpi.org/country/pol/) - Poland, ranked 50th in the CCPI, is still a low-level climate performer. CCPI experts remain sceptical of current government’s performance until revised NECP is submitted. Reliance on coal persists, capacity is limited for renewables, Stronger international cooperation is needed.
- [Republic of Korea](https://ccpi.org/country/kor/) - Korea holds its ranking of 63rd, near the bottom of the CCPI and among the very low-level climate performers. Policy majorly misaligned with 1.5°C pathway. Renewables are just 8% of the electricity mix. By law, long-term strategy now must be revised.
- [Finland](https://ccpi.org/country/fin/) - Finland is up to 29th in the CCPI ranking. Its climate performance varies, as low-carbon electricity is a strength though energy use is very high. Carbon sinks need replenishing, and the transport sector needs to cut reliance on combustion engines.
- [Belarus](https://ccpi.org/country/blr/) - Belarus, ranked 55th in the CCPI, remains a very low-level climate performer. Funding-poor, the country is neglecting climate action. NGOs cannot participate, leaving lack of oversight and an information vacuum. Oversight and targets are needed.
- [Saudi Arabia](https://ccpi.org/country/sau/) - Saudi Arabia is 67th, which is last in the CCPI ranking, as a very low-level climate performer. The long-term strategy seeks to preserve oil and gas expansion. Fossil fuel phase-out plan is needed. Net-zero in 2060 is too late. Country delaying action despite vast capacity.
- [Portugal](https://ccpi.org/country/prt/) - Portugal ranks 12th, as a high-level climate performer in the CCPI ranking. The country shows some ambition in targets, but still not aligned with 1.5°C Paris goal. GHG emissions show decline but are rising in transport. National Climate Law needs full enforcement.
- [Czech Republic](https://ccpi.org/country/cze/) - The Czech Republic, ranked 42nd in the CCPI, is still an overall low-level climate performer. Climate policy tends to focus on technology over people and behaviour. Coal phase-out is advancing, but legally binding fossil removal targets are absent.
- [Switzerland](https://ccpi.org/country/che/) - Switzerland, ranked 26th, is still a medium-level climate performer in the CCPI. CO₂ Act revision secures emissions-related instruments and incentives, but delays decarbonisation. Electricity and renewables act has promise, though RE outlook is mixed.
- [Cyprus](https://ccpi.org/country/cyp/) - Cyprus, at 39th, remains a low-level climate performer in the CCPI ranking. The country largely follows EU membership obligations but faces challenges in meeting commitments. It lacks a clear fossil fuel phase-out plan.
- [Colombia](https://ccpi.org/country/col/) - Colombia falls 9 spots to 36th in the CCPI ranking, as a medium-level climate performer. Its pending NDC should raise ambition. The country needs a just energy transition, clear fossil fuel phase-out roadmap, and stronger Amazon protection.
- [Italy](https://ccpi.org/country/ita/) - Italy is 46th in the CCPI ranking, as a low-level climate performer. Its coal phase-out delay to 2038 is regrettable and its renewables targets fall short. More climate and energy ambition is needed.
- [Latvia](https://ccpi.org/country/lva/) - Latvia, at 34th, is a medium-level climate performer in the CCPI ranking. Its NECP has brought positive changes, especially in energy. However, fossil fuels still lack a phase-out roadmap and LTS needs stronger implementation.
- [Lithuania](https://ccpi.org/country/ltu/) - Lithuania, at 9th, is a high-level climate performer in the CCPI. There’s progress in renewables, energy use, and climate policy. Industry and transport need to continue structural transformation and electrification, and a full fossil phase-out plan is needed.
- [Luxembourg](https://ccpi.org/country/lux/) - Luxembourg, ranked 8th in the CCPI, is a high-level climate performer. It’s on track to achieve 2030 emissions target and has many policy measures, good subsidies. Natural gas for heating still high but plans in place to address it.
- [Malaysia](https://ccpi.org/country/mys/) - Malaysia, at 49th, remains a low-level climate performer in the CCPI ranking. Its 2050 renewables target falls short of net-zero potential, while oil and gas exploration persists. Reducing fossil fuel reliance is the top climate issue.
- [Malta](https://ccpi.org/country/mlt/) - Malta, at 25th, is up 9 spots in the CCPI ranking, as a medium-level climate performer. Budget provides energy subsidies for citizens. Renewables share in energy mix remains low, as wind energy development has long stagnated. Automobile dependence persists.
- [Mexico](https://ccpi.org/country/mex/) - Mexico, at 31st, is up 8 spots in the CCPI ranking and now a medium performer. It has shown climate policy ambition but with slow implementation and unclear mandates. Clean energy needs strengthening, with socio-environmental consideration.
- [Norway](https://ccpi.org/country/nor/) - Norway ranks 11th in the CCPI and still a high-level climate performer. It ranks 1st in renewables, thanks to near-total auto electrification and nearly all electricity from RE. However, RE projects have violated human rights. Also prolonging oil and gas production.
- [Türkiye](https://ccpi.org/country/tur/) - Türkiye, ranked 52nd, is still among the very low-level climate performers in the CCPI ranking. There is no official roadmap to decarbonisation, with carbon-intensive energy still strongly supported. Renewable energy shows some progress.
- [Croatia](https://ccpi.org/country/hrv/) - Croatia, at 45th, is a low-level climate performer in the CCPI ranking. Rural and low-income areas struggle with biomass use and air pollution. Renewables legislation exists, but strong implementation is needed, as well as funds and political will.
- [Chinese Taipei](https://ccpi.org/country/twn/) - Chinese Taipei, at 59th, is a very low-level climate performer in the CCPI ranking. Plans such as net-zero pathway and emissions reduction targets are in place, but goals are being missed. Renewables plans and policies exist, while fossil phase-out plan is lacking.
- [Slovenia](https://ccpi.org/country/svn/) - Slovenia ranks 28th, as a medium-level climate performer in the CCPI. New NECP has stronger targets but delays fossil subsidy phase-out, while new Climate Law lacks commitment on these subsidies. Long-term strategy needs renewing and natural gas phase-out plan needed.
- [Slovakia](https://ccpi.org/country/svk/) - Slovakia ranks 47th and is still a low-level climate performer in the CCPI ranking. The government seems to not be taking climate change seriously, as it blocks EU legislation and lacks ambition and phase-out plans after encouraging coal phase-out.
- [Viet Nam](https://ccpi.org/country/vnm/) - Viet Nam, ranked 24th in the CCPI, is a medium-level climate performer. The country began its ETS in 2025 and is working on a long-term green growth strategy. GHG emissions need effective reduction.
- [Hungary](https://ccpi.org/country/hun/) - Hungary is a low overall climate performer in the CCPI ranking, at 48th. Targets and actions are contradictory. Policy framework has NECP, LTS, and others, but implementation is weak and the country tries to undermine EU climate action.
- [Greece](https://ccpi.org/country/grc/) - Greece ranks 30th in the CCPI, down 8 spots but still a medium-level climate performer. Reliance on gas pulls its rating down, despite some GHG emissions reductions. Transport, tourism, and industry all need urgent climate-related attention.
- [Romania](https://ccpi.org/country/rou/) - Romania, at 16th in the CCPI, is a strong riser, given its LTS-driven progress and advancing renewables auctions. Fossil gas viewed as a ‘transition fuel’ from coal, however, needs reconsideration, and national planning schemes for energy are needed.
- [Estonia](https://ccpi.org/country/est/) - Estonia, at 18th, falls from a high-level to a medium-level climate performer in the CCPI ranking. Its 70% GHG reduction target is unclear and contested, and there is no legally binding phase-out for fossil fuels.
- [Islamic Republic of Iran](https://ccpi.org/country/irn/) - Iran, at 66th, is second to last in the CCPI ranking – a very low climate performer. Its GHG emissions are among the world’s highest, renewables are just 1% of energy share, and no adaptation efforts are visible.
- [Ireland](https://ccpi.org/country/irl/) - Ireland, at 33rd, is in the middle of the pack for climate performance in the CCPI ranking. While a strong funder of climate finance, the country is falling short on GHG emissions and grappling with the sharp rise of data centre electricity demand.
- [European Union (EU)](https://ccpi.org/country/eu/) - The European Union, at 17th, receives medium ratings across the board in this year’s CCPI. Policy revisions are moves in the right direction and the EU is a climate leader, but it needs to make stronger contributions.
- [Egypt](https://ccpi.org/country/egy/) - Egypt falls to 38th in the CCPI ranking, as a low-level climate performer. Its updated NDC was identical to the previous one except for higher target for renewables in electricity (and stronger emissions target). Egypt has great potential for RE but scarcely uses it.
- [Sweden](https://ccpi.org/country/swe/) - Sweden ranks 13th as an overall high-level climate performed in the CCPI ranking. It’s noted for its high carbon tax, strong climate financing, and large energy share of renewables, but climate policy is slipping off track and needs greater ambition.
- [New Zealand](https://ccpi.org/country/nzl/) - New Zealand ranks 44th in the CCPI and is a low climate performer. Its high renewable energy ratio is a big plus, but many targets and policies are stalling or even reversing.
- [Indonesia](https://ccpi.org/country/idn/) - Indonesia, at 43rd, is a low-level climate performer in the CCPI ranking. It lacks a coal phase-out plan and a pathway to net zero. The energy market needs reform to accommodate renewables. An updated NDC is planned.
- [South Africa](https://ccpi.org/country/zaf/) - South Africa, at 41st, is a low-level climate performer in the annual CCPI ranking. Internationally, it’s a strong climate voice, but domestically, decarbonisation will is weak and improvements are needed in policies, enforcement, and implementation.
- [Canada](https://ccpi.org/country/can/) - Canada, at 61st, sits near the bottom and among the very low climate performers in the CCPI ranking. US pressure and shifting politics are influencing fossil expansion and challenges to emissions policy.
- [Bulgaria](https://ccpi.org/country/bgr/) - Bulgaria, at 51st, continues to be among the low climate performers in the CCPI ranking. Despite an updated NECP, it has targets below EU minimums. Meanwhile, fossil dependence and expansion persist and energy efficiency is weak.
- [Algeria](https://ccpi.org/country/dza/) - Algeria ranks 40th, as a low-level climate performer in the CCPI. As the lowest ranked country in Renewable Energy, the country struggles with a rise in forest fires and needs greater accountability and investments.
- [Kazakhstan](https://ccpi.org/country/kaz/) - Kazakhstan, ranked 60th, remains near the bottom in this year’s CCPI ranking. Despite massive renewables potential, fossil fuel dependence continues. Policy offers some cause for optimism.
- [Ukraine](https://ccpi.org/country/ukr/) - This year’s CCPI did not evaluate Ukraine’s climate performance. This decision was due to the far-reaching effects of the aggressive Russian war against the country.
- [Morocco](https://ccpi.org/country/mar/) - Morocco is up 2 spots in the CCPI ranking, as a high-level climate performer. Its updated NDC shows ambition in emissions reductions and coal phase-out. However, renewable energy is not progressing fast enough, with technological upgrades needed
- [Netherlands](https://ccpi.org/country/nld/) - The Netherlands, ranked 10th, falls 5 spots but remains a high performer in the CCPI ranking. Its climate targets and new renewables are positives, while its international role and domestic climate commitments may change under a new government.
- [Argentina](https://ccpi.org/country/arg/) - Argentina, ranked 58th, is a very low climate performer in the CCPI ranking. The Milei government denies human-made climate change and has undone all relevant bodies and programs. Scant climate initiatives exist only at the local governmental level.
- [Australia](https://ccpi.org/country/aus/) - Australia, at 56th, is a very low climate performer in the CCPI ranking. Its new NDC falls short, while continuing support for fossil fuel expansion is discouraging. Joining the Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance is recommended.
