The Climate Change Performance Index

4
The Climate Change Performance Index 2009 shows:
Policy must get in gear for the two degrees limit
Be they located top or bottom, the Climate Change
Performance Index 2009, presented by Germanwatch
and CAN-Europe, shows that not a single country is
to be judged as satisfactory with regard to protecting
the climate. The specific criterion for this judgment
is that, compared with 1990, no country is yet
on the path that would be necessary to stay within
the two degrees limit.
The Climate Change Performance Index therefore
does not have any winners this year. Due to the lack
of will to engage themselves more strongly to avoid
dangerous climate change, none of the countries
achieved positions one to three. Position four to ten
of this year are made up by Sweden, Germany, France,
India, Brazil, the United Kingdom and Denmark.
