Germany has slipped down the climate action ranking for the third consecutive year, with the former green leader now being outperformed by Brazil, Columbia and Romania. In its worst performance since 2019, the country fell to place 25 and received a "medium" rating overall on the yearly Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI), which assesses efforts to curb global warming in 64 countries plus the European Union. Still, "a number of countries have been making good progress for years," said Jan Burck, CCPI lead author in a statement. Denmark is leading the way across all four categories assessed — energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy and national climate policy.
