Testimonials
As I continue offering an independent perspective on Thailand’s national climate policy—whose effectiveness remains extremely challenging to gauge—I want to emphasize the importance of the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI). CCPI supplies a comprehensive and rigorous methodology, effectively tackling many of the obstacles in assessing climate policies. For anyone seeking to understand whether climate strategies worldwide are genuinely delivering results, CCPI provides critical insights, empowering advocates to call for stronger and more impactful climate action.
In Aotearoa New Zealand, the CCPI is well-respected and considered a reliable and trustworthy source of global climate data. WWF-New Zealand uses the CCPI to help us advocate for more ambitious climate policy with the government of the day. The CCPI is an authoritative evaluation and comparison of how countries are responding to the global climate crisis and a vital tool to motivate countries to act with the urgency needed. After all, the CPI is a reminder to political leaders that the world is watching closely.
The indicators the CCPI provides, as well as the textual analysis and inclusion of climate policy, make it a very useful and accessible tool for climate and environmental actors. Its data helps inform policy, advocacy and legal strategy.
Each year, I read the CCPI Annual Report to gauge trends and patterns in the politics of climate change around us. I was delighted when the team at CCPI also kindly supported me in using some of their data for my research, regarding the comparative politics of climate change. An excellent resource!
In a world full of divisions, complexities and conspiracy theories, openly offering data-based big pictures of the state of climate policies is a service of utmost significance to our democracy. The CCPI helps people across the globe to follow the climate transition in real terms, compare progress, learn from other countries, and make sense of the fractures and policy challenges along the way.
I have been following the CCPI since its launch in 2005. To me, the index serves as an annual report card on the climate protection performance of Malaysia, in particular, and other countries in general.
Since 2005, the CCPI has been contributing to a clearer understanding of national and international climate policies. The CCPI is an important tool for tracking countries' climate action performances and enabling comparison of the efforts and progress made by 57 countries and the European Union, covering more than 90% of global GHG emissions. An impressive result, made possible by the joint contribution of NGOs experts working within their respective countries, fighting for the implementation of the climate policies that we desperately need to reach our common goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
When we first reached out to the CCPI team we didn't anticipate the support and collaborative spirit that we were met with. They have been very flexible and insightful in assisting our own climate policy research. We certainly look forward to continuing to work with the CCPI in the future!
The CCPI has been used by the Portuguese government to communicate achievements and to explain setbacks. It has been a yearly indicator that is followed by stakeholders and extensively picked by the press as an evaluation tool of the progress of climate change policies in our country.
