					</table><p>India has been ranked among the top five countries and the best among the G-20 nations under the global <a href="https://ccpi.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Climate Change Performance Index</a><u> (CCPI)</u>.</p>
<p>The government said in a statement that India’s performance is mainly due to the aggressive policies directed towards the rapid deployment of renewables, and a robust framework for energy efficiency programs.</p>
<p>CCPI, which tracks the climate protection policy of 59 countries and the European Union, is published by German Watch, New Climate Institute, and Climate Action Network International based in Germany.</p>
<p>India improved its previous rank by two positions to eight in CCPI’s 2023 Index.</p>
<p>However, the Index didn’t assign the first three ranks to any country, placing India among the best five. The Index also placed India as the only G-20 country in the top 10.</p>
<p>The latest CCPI report released at COP27 shows Denmark, Sweden, Chile and Morocco ranked above India at fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh place, respectively.</p>
<p>The index comprises four parameters with greenhouse gas emission having a weightage of 40%  to the overall score. The other three parameters include energy use, renewable energy, and climate policy, each accounting for 20% of the overall score.</p>
<p>India earned a high rating in the GHG Emissions and Energy Use categories, while a medium for Climate Policy and Renewable Energy.</p>
<p>Though India is on track to meet its 2030 emissions targets, which is compatible with the well below 2°C Paris Agreement goal, the country&#8217;s renewable energy pathway, according to the index, is not on track for the 2030 target.</p>
<p>India will now be assuming the G-20 Presidency and looks forward to working on climate mitigation policies, such as the deployment of renewable sources of energy and other energy transition programs.</p>
<p>According to Mercom India Research’s newly released <a href="https://mercomindia.com/product/q3-2022-india-solar-market-update" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Q3 2022 India Solar Market Update report</a>, India <a href="https://mercomindia.com/india-installs-a-record-10-gw-of-solar-in-9m-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">installed</a> a record 10 GW of new solar capacity during the first nine months (9M) of 2022, an increase of 35% year-over-year (YoY).</p>
<p>India also <a href="https://mercomindia.com/indian-corporates-are-top-green-energy-asia-pacific-region/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">led</a> the corporate renewable procurement market in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region for the second consecutive year by procuring 8.1 GW of capacity, according to a Wood Mackenzie report released earlier this month.</p>
