Portugal performs high on Climate Change
Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) 2022 was published last month and it acts as an “independent monitoring tool for tracking the climate protection performance of 60 countries and the EU” since 2005, rating the countries as Very High, High, Medium, Low and Very Low. These countries, which together account for 92% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, are assessed in four categories: GHG Emissions, Renewable Energy, Energy Use and Climate Policy.
The three top scores, for “Very High” rating, remain unranked with no countries doing well enough to prevent climate change. Portugal ranks 16th, going up one position this year, ranking “High” on the Index.
In these categories, although Portugal ranks Low on Greenhouse Gas Emissions, it ranks High on Renewable Energy, Medium on Energy Use, and High on Climate Policy.
