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

International | Dated: 08 Jun 2025

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.

🎯 Key Highlights:

  • - 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).

💡 Other Important Facts:

  • (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.
