The countries winning the race to net zero, and the ones falling behind

The international climate change conference, COP29, has produced a $300 billion (£238bn) deal to help poorer countries fight global warming – the latest stage toward implementing the landmark Paris Agreement. 

Adopted by 193 UN states along with other non-state entities when it was unveiled in 2015, the Agreement aims to limit the average global temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. It’s a binding international treaty, but its signatories’ progress toward fulfilling the obligations varies enormously. 

So, how is your country performing? Read on to discover the progress 32 key nations are making in reaching their carbon-neutral goals today, with ratings based on insights from the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI). 

All dollar amounts in US dollars.
