Denmark, the Netherlands, and the UK lead the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) released at COP29, assessing 63 countries on emissions, renewables, and climate policy. Denmark ranks fourth with high-performance climate policies, while the Netherlands is fifth despite concerns over its new government. The UK, in sixth, has made significant strides post-coal phase-out. The index highlights the need for strong leadership and a transition from fossil fuels to renewables, with many countries still reliant on fossil fuels. The EU ranks in the upper middle, with calls for stronger commitments to phase out fossil fuel subsidies. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
