About CCPI
- The CCPI analyses and compares climate protection across 57 countries (plus EU as a whole) with the highest emissions, which together account for 90 per cent of global emissions.
- The current index analyses emissions before the coronavirus crisis and does not reflect emissions reduction during this unusual situation.
- CCPI, published by Germanwatch in cooperation with NewClimate Institute and Climate Action Network (CAN).
- Germanwatch, is a non-profit, non-governmental organization based in Bonn, Germany. It seeks to influence public policy on trade, the environment, and relations between countries in the industrialized north and underdeveloped south
