India drops two places but remains among top 10 climate performers: Report

India has been ranked 10th out of over 60 countries in the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) 2025, released at the UN climate conference.

Despite slipping two positions from last year, India remains a high performer, attributed to its low per capita emissions and rapid growth in renewable energy adoption.

The CCPI, compiled by Germanwatch, New Climate Institute, and Climate Action Network International, evaluates countries on emissions, renewable energy use, and climate policy. The rankings highlight the global struggle against climate change, with the top three spots left vacant due to no country achieving a “very high” overall performance. Denmark, the Netherlands, and the UK occupy fourth, fifth, and sixth positions respectively, while the largest emitters, China and the US, rank 55th and 57th.
